Heterogeneous computing and exploiting integrated CPU-GPU architectures has become a clear current trend since the flattening of Moore's Law. In this work, we propose a numerical and algorithmic re-design of a p-adaptive quadrature-free discontinuous Galerkin method (DG) for the shallow water equations (SWE). Our new approach separates the computations of the non-adaptive (lower-order) and adaptive (higher-order) parts of the discretization form each other. Thereby, we can overlap computations of the lower-order and the higher-order DG solution components. Furthermore, we investigate execution times of main computational kernels and use automatic code generation to optimize their distribution between the CPU and GPU. Several setups, including a prototype of a tsunami simulation in a tide-driven flow scenario, are investigated, and the results show that significant performance improvements can be achieved in suitable setups.
