Tldr We develop batched wavefront sweeps for upwind discontinuous Galerkin transport methods to exploit graph structure across families of problems with varying local operators, sources and inflows. We introduce a GPU tensor program, prove its correctness, characterise its memory usage and demonstrate substantial execution speedups and adjoint consistency on several test cases.
