| Zusammenfassung |
| Explicit time integration methods are characterised by a small numerical
effort per time step. In the application to multiscale problems
in atmospheric modelling, this benefit is often more than compensated
by stability problems and step size restrictions resulting from stiff
chemical reaction terms and from a locally varying
Courant-Friedrichs-Lewy (CFL) condition for the advection terms.
Splitting methods may be applied to efficiently combine implicit and
explicit methods (IMEX splitting). Complementarily multirate time integration
schemes allow for a local adaptation of the time step size to the grid size.
In combination, these approaches lead to schemes which are efficient
in terms of evaluations of the right-hand side. Special challenges arise
when these methods are to be implemented. For an efficient implementation,
it is crucial to locate and exploit redundancies. Furthermore, the more
complex programme flow may lead to computational overhead which, in the worst
case, more than compensates the theoretical gain in efficiency.
We present a general splitting approach which allows both for IMEX splittings
and for local time step adaptation. The main focus is on an efficient
implementation of this approach for parallel computation on computer clusters. |
