Abstract
We present ANRe-M1 (Accelerated Numerical Relativity code with multi-energy M1 neutrino transport), a performance-portable, GPU-accelerated code for multidimensional core-collapse supernova simulations in full general relativity. ANRe-M1 builds on our original CPU-based Fortran framework and is implemented in C++ using Kokkos. It retains the underlying general-relativistic neutrino-radiation-hydrodynamics algorithms while redesigning the data layout, parallel decomposition, and memory-access patterns for accelerator-resident execution. The spacetime sector employs the BSSN--Z4c formulation and is coupled to relativistic hydrodynamics and energy-dependent M1 neutrino transport. We validate the implementation through a suite of hydrodynamic, radiation-transport, and dynamical-spacetime tests, together with comparisons to results from an earlier code-comparison study. We further demonstrate its applicability with a representative three-dimensional stellar-collapse computation including multi-energy neutrino transport. For the benchmark and computing systems considered here, ANRe-M1 runs approximately an order of magnitude faster on a cluster of AMD MI300A accelerated processing units than the Fortran version on a CPU cluster. When the allocation is increased from 2 to 128 MI300A APUs, the aggregate throughput rises by a factor of 39.7, corresponding to a weak-scaling efficiency of 62 per cent relative to the two-APU case. These results establish ANRe-M1 as an efficient and portable framework for long-term, multidimensional supernova simulations on current and forthcoming accelerator-based supercomputers.
