Short summary

We present the VOLNA-OP2 tsunami simulation code, built on the OP2 library. It is unique among such solvers in its support for several high-performance computing platforms: CPUs, the Intel Xeon Phi, and GPUs. This is achieved in a way that the scientific code is kept separate from various parallel implementations, enabling easy maintainability. Scalability and efficiency are demonstrated on three supercomputers built with CPUs, Xeon Phi's, and GPUs.
