February 2026 – amrvac/AGILE-experimental: Delivered build-time flexibility and scalable MPI networking to support larger HPC workloads. Key outcomes include two features: 1) MPI Wrappers Compile Flag – introduces a compile-time flag to optionally enable MPI wrappers, enabling builds with or without MPI wrappers across environments. 2) Connectivity and MPI Networking Enhancements – increases the connectivity module max_size to 9,000,000 and adds NIC selection plus updated environment modules for compatibility, improving data handling and network performance. These changes enhance deployment consistency and scalability across clusters. No explicit major bug fixes were recorded this month; the focus was on feature delivery, performance tuning, and environment readiness. Business value: easier cross-environment builds, better utilization of large datasets, and more reliable MPI communication. Technologies/skills demonstrated: MPI, compile-time flags, NIC-aware networking, HPC modules, shell scripting, and environment management.

Monthly summary for 2026-01 focusing on NVHPC MPI wrapper compatibility fix in amrvac/AGILE-experimental. Implemented a wrapper layer to mitigate NVHPC-specific issues in parallel communication and safe file I/O, replacing direct MPI calls with wrappers and adding dedicated wrappers for MPI_FILE_READ and MPI_FILE_READ_AT under NVHPC 25.3. These changes enhance stability and reliability of large-scale simulations in NVHPC environments and lay groundwork for easier future NVHPC compatibility.

Dec 1, 2025

Month 2025-12: Monthly summary for amrvac/AGILE-experimental. Key features delivered: LUMI/Cray HPC compatibility and performance optimization; device-side MPI size parameter updates, increased grid neighbor capacity, and explicit OpenACC vectorization; Cray-specific inlining strategy adjustments to improve compilation reliability and runtime performance. Major bugs fixed: Cray compilation and runtime issues addressed through inlining and acceleration work, including making idecode a vector routine, vectorizing elemental functions, acc routine adjustments for usr_refine_grid, forced inlining of skip_direction, removal of redundant checks, and increasing max_blocks to stabilize runs on LUMI. Overall impact and accomplishments: Enhanced portability, scalability, and reliability on Cray-based systems, enabling larger simulations and more robust performance testing on the LUMI system. Technologies/skills demonstrated: MPI tuning for Cray, OpenACC optimization and vectorization, explicit inlining/acc routine control, device-side parameter management, and Cray-specific compilation workflows.

February 2025 Monthly Summary for amrvac/AGILE-experimental: Delivered GPU-accelerated ghost cell update loop with a refactor to improve simulation throughput and scalability. The update path was migrated to the GPU using OpenACC directives, with the loop parallelized and computations offloaded to the device. A helper function was inlined and ghost cell values are assigned directly on the device, reducing CPU-GPU transfers and synchronization overhead. Commit reference: 67c6a57137f1ac345dfd673689722723f5a7a51b (WIP: Move ghostcell update loop to GPU). No major bugs were documented this month; the focus was on performance optimization and enabling scalable GPU execution.

January 2025 focused on stabilizing the NVIDIA_acc build configuration in amrvac/AGILE-experimental. Delivered a targeted bug fix that restores optimization flags for the NVIDIA accelerator path and cleanly separates the debug build configuration into a dedicated file (nvidia_accdebug.defs). This improves build reliability, debugging efficiency, and maintainability across CI and developer workflows. The change reduces misconfiguration risk while preserving strong performance tuning capabilities and sets groundwork for easier future enhancements.
