This PR introduces optimizations for the OpenACC port of atm_advance_acoustic_step_work:3964. The table below lists the timings for a real, global 30km experiment on A100 GPU with the nvhpc.

For nvhpc gpu runs, -gpu=math_uniform is introduced as a build flag to ensure optimizations are bit-identical, and the we report the numbers using NV_ACC_TIME=1. The GPU runs are on 1 Derecho GPU node, using 1 A100 via 1 MPI task.

As the changes introduced aren't expected to affect CPU execution times, the CPU columns are skipped.

Version GPU kernel time (ms)
base 23.331
Add vector to loop statement 0.258

The substantial speedup achieved in this PR is a result of utilizing all the threads available to each warp.

This work was completed in part at the NCAR/NLR/NOAA Open Hackathon, part of the Open Hackathons program. The authors would like to acknowledge OpenACC-Standard.org for their support.
