| 1 | Lattice Boltzmann Benchmark Kernels |
| 2 | =================================== |
| 3 | |
| 4 | The lattice Boltzmann (LBM) benchmark kernels are a collection of LBM kernel |
| 5 | implementations. |
| 6 | |
| 7 | AS SUCH THE LBM BENCHMARK KERNELS ARE NO FULLY EQUIPPED CFD SOLVER AND SOLELY |
| 8 | SERVE THE PURPOSE OF STUDYING POSSIBLE PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATIONS AND/OR |
| 9 | EXPERIMENTS. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | The benchmark suite was created by the HPC group of Erlangen Regional Computing |
| 12 | Center (RRZE/HPC) [1] and the Chair for System Simulation of FAU (LSS) [2]. |

| 15 | documentation. |
