abstract = {High parallel efficiency for large-scale coupled
multiphysics simulations requires the computational load to
be evenly distributed among all compute cores. For complex
applications and massively parallel computations, even minor
load imbalances can have a severe impact on the overall
performance and resource usage. Exemplarily for a
volume-coupled multiphysics simulation, a direct-hybrid
method is considered, in which a CFD and a CAA simulation
are performed concurrently on the same parallel subdomains.
For differing load compositions on each subdomain, accurate
computational weights for CFD and CAA cells must be known to
determine an efficient domain decomposition. Therefore, a
dynamic load balancing scheme is presented, which allows to
increase the efficiency of complex coupled simulations with
non-trivial domain decompositions. A fully-coupled
three-dimensional jet simulation with approximately 300
million degrees of freedom demonstrates the effectiveness of
the approach to reduce load imbalances. A detailed
performance analysis substantiates the necessity of dynamic
load balancing. Furthermore, the results of a strong scaling
experiment show the benefit of load balancing to be
proportional to the degree of parallelism. In addition, it
is shown that the approach allows to attenuate imbalances
also for parallel computations on heterogeneous computing
hardware. The acoustic field of a chevron nozzle will also
be discussed.},
