1   Introduction

+

The lattice Boltzmann (LBM) benchmark kernels are a collection of LBM kernel +implementations.

+

AS SUCH THE LBM BENCHMARK KERNELS ARE NO FULLY EQUIPPED CFD SOLVER AND SOLELY +SERVES THE PURPOSE OF STUDYING POSSIBLE PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATIONS AND/OR +EXPERIMENTS.

+

Currently all kernels utilize a D3Q19 discretization and the +two-relaxation-time (TRT) collision operator [ginzburg-2008]. +All operations are carried out in double precision arithmetic.

Further some code might be platform or at least +the code and the makefiles. Furthermore some code might be platform or at least POSIX specific.

The benchmark can be build via make from the src subdirectory. This will generate one binary which hosts all implemented benchmark kernels.

Binaries are located under the bin subdirectory and will have different names depending on compiler and build configuration.

Compilation can target debug or release builds. Combined with both build types +verification can be enabled, which increases the runtime and hence is not +suited for benchmarking.
