abstract = {Regional hydrology studies are often supported by
high-resolution simulations of subsurface flow that require
expensive and extensive computations. Efficient usage of the
latest high performance parallel computing systems becomes a
necessity. The simulation software ParFlow has been
demonstrated to meet this requirement and shown to have
excellent solver scalability for up to 16,384 processes. In
the present work, we show that the code requires further
enhancements in order to fully take advantage of current
petascale machines. We identify ParFlow’s way of
parallelization of the computational mesh as a central
bottleneck. We propose to reorganize this subsystem using
fast mesh partition algorithms provided by the parallel
adaptive mesh refinement library p4est. We realize this in a
minimally invasive manner by modifying selected parts of the
code to reinterpret the existing mesh data structures. We
evaluate the scaling performance of the modified version of
ParFlow, demonstrating good weak and strong scaling up to
458k cores of the Juqueen supercomputer, and test an example
application at large scale.},
