We compare experimentally different parallelization models using MPI and OpenMP for structured adaptive mesh refinement on a shared-memory parallel computer, a SunFire 15K. Due to the dynamic properties of the mesh no static parallelization model with fixed number of processes and threads performs best in all stages. Different combinations of MPI and OpenMP are preferable in different settings of the application and grid hierarchy. We suggest a new dynamic approach using a mixed MPI-OpenMP model that adapts the number of threads during run time and gives good performance in all stages throughout the whole run as the solution state changes, i.e. the resolution in the computational grid changes.
