Adaptive mesh refinement and iterative traversals of unknowns on such adaptive grids are fundamental building blocks for PDE solvers. We discuss a respective integrated approach for grid refinement and processing of unknowns that is based on recursively structured triangular grids and space-filling element orders. In earlier work, the approach was demonstrated to be highly memory- and cache-efficient. In this paper, we analyse the cache efficiency of the traversal algorithms using the I/O model. Further, we discuss how the nested recursive traversal algorithms can be efficiently implemented. For that purpose, we compare the memory throughput of respective implementations with simple stream benchmarks, and study the dependence of memory throughput and floating point performance from the computational load per element.
