<title>Abstract</title>In the phase-field simulation of dendrite growth during the solidification of an alloy, the computational cost becomes extremely high when the diffusion length is significantly larger than the curvature radius of a dendrite tip. In such cases, the adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) method is effective for improving the computational performance. In this study, we perform a three-dimensional dendrite growth phase-field simulation in which AMR is implemented via parallel computing using multiple graphics processing units (GPUs), which provide high parallel computation performance. In the parallel GPU computation, we apply dynamic load balancing to parallel computing to equalize the computational cost per GPU. The accuracy of an AMR refinement condition is confirmed through the single-GPU computations of columnar dendrite growth during the directional solidification of a binary alloy. Next, we evaluate the efficiency of dynamic load balancing by performing multiple-GPU parallel computations for three different directional solidification simulations using a moving frame algorithm. Finally, weak scaling tests are performed to confirm the parallel efficiency of the developed code.
