Extreme memory requirements and high communication overhead prevent scaling of large scale iterative simulations involving parallel Fast Fourier Transforms (FFTs) to higher grid sizes, which is necessary for high resolution analysis. To overcome these limitations, we propose an algorithm to run stress-strain simulations on CPU-GPU platforms for larger problem sizes using irregular domain decomposition and local FFTs. Early results show that our method lowers iteration cost without adversely impacting accuracy of the result.
