Overview

...

POT3D is a Fortran code that computes potential field solutions to approximate the solar coronal magnetic field using observed photospheric magnetic fields as a boundary condition. It can be used to generate potential field source surface (PFSS), potential field current sheet (PFCS), and open field (OF) models. It has been (and continues to be) used for numerous studies of coronal structure and dynamics. The code is highly parallelized using MPI and is GPU-accelerated using Fortran standard parallelism (do concurrent) and OpenACC, along with an option to use the NVIDIA cuSparse library. The HDF5 file format is used for input/output.

Running an Example

The following commands will run a test case with NP MPI ranks and validate that the code is working.

NP=1

cd testsuite

POT3D_HOME=$PWD/..
TEST="small"

cp ${POT3D_HOME}/testsuite/${TEST}/input/* ${POT3D_HOME}/testsuite/${TEST}/run/
cd ${POT3D_HOME}/testsuite/${TEST}/run

echo "Running POT3D with $NP MPI rank..."
mpirun -np $NP ${POT3D_HOME}/bin/pot3d > pot3d.log
echo "Done!"

# Get runtime:
runtime=($(tail -n 5 timing.out | head -n 1))
echo "Wall clock time: ${runtime[6]} seconds"
echo " "

# Validate run:
${POT3D_HOME}/scripts/pot3d_validation.sh pot3d.out ${POT3D_HOME}/testsuite/${TEST}/validation/pot3d.out

Task and Submission

1. Use the input under testsuite/isc2023 folder.

2. Run POT3D with isc2023 input.
   Note: ifprec=1 must be used for the competition2 with cuSparse is allowed to use.
   Your job should converge at 25112 steps and print outputs like below:Residual should be 1E-12 or smaller.

   Code Block
   ### The CG solver has converged. Iteration: 25112 Residual: 9.972489313728662E-13

3. Submission and Presentation:
   - Submit all your build scripts, run scripts, inputs, and output text files (pot3d.dat, pot3d.out, timing.out, etc.)
   - Do not submit the output HDF5 data or the source code.
