Original abstract
We present AGILE, a GPU-enabled adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) framework for the solution of (near-) conservation laws which occur in astro- and solar-physical applications. AGILE is written in modern fortran 2003, inherits a part of its modules and mesh handling from MPI-AMRVAC, and achieves excellent GPU performance via OpenACC offloading. We here discuss the design decisions which enable AGILE to perform cost-efficient and scalable deeply nested AMR simulations with moderate block sizes of e.g. $16^3$ cells. AGILE currently implements several physics modules, ie. hydrodynamics, frozen-field hydrodynamics, magnetohydrodynamics and special-relativistic hydrodynamics and can easily be extended further through its modular design. Besides strong scaling tests to up to 2048 GPUs and standard benchmarks which show consistent performance across a large range of devices and problem sizes, we demonstrate AGILE's capabilities by means of state-of-the art science applications with all currently available physics modules.
