OpenMP-accelerated SWAT simulation using Intel C and FORTRAN compilers: Development and benchmark
SWAT simulation was universally accelerated using open computational resources. The source code was recompiled by a non-commercial Intel compiler in a Linux platform. GNU utilities were used to analyze primary bottlenecks in the fast model execution. The speed and accuracy of the simulation were improved using OpenMP parallelization. Research needs in enhancing parallelizability of the original SWAT were discussed.
