Abstract
In the paper we present a modern efficient parallel OpenMP+CUDA implementation of crowd simulation for hybrid CPU+GPU systems and demonstrate its higher performance over CPU-only and GPU-only implementations for several problem sizes including 10 000, 50 000, 100 000, 500 000 and 1 000 000 agents. We show how performance varies for various tile sizes and what CPU–GPU load balancing settings shall be preferred for various domain sizes among CPUs and GPUs of a high performance system with 2 Intel Xeon Silver multicore CPUs and 8 NVIDIA Quadro RTX 5000 GPUs. We then present how execution time depends on the number of agents as well as the number of CUDA streams used for parallel execution of several CUDA kernels. We discuss the design and implementation of an algorithm with CPU computational threads, GPU management threads, assignment of particular tasks to threads as well as usage of pinned memory and CUDA shared memory for maximizing performance.
