Implementation and Performance Modeling of Deterministic Particle Transport (Sweep3D) on the IBM Cell/B.E.

The IBM Cell Broadband Engine (BE) is a novel multi-core chip with the potential for the demanding floating point performance that is required for high-fidelity scientific simulations. However, data movement within the chip can be a major challenge to realizing the benefits of the peak floating poin...
