News 1: Kick-off meeting
The kick-off meeting for the project was held virtually on Monday 13th December 2021 with nearly 50 participants, with representatives from Intel, Nvidia & 3 cross-cutting ExCALIBUR projects. The meeting started with an overview of the project with its objectives and presentation of our four flow solvers Xcompact3d, OpenSBLI, uDALES and SENGA+. Then the Domain Specific Language (DLS) framework OPS and the 2DECOMP&FFT library were introduced to the participant. Following this presentations, the three cross-cutting projects involved in "turbulence at the exascale" were briefly introduced by their knowledge exchange coordinator (one project is about UQ, on project is about DLS and one project is about coupling methods). The meeting was ended by a general discussion.
News 2: Recruitment
7 Research Software Engineers are going to be recruited for this project (3 at Imperial College London, 1 in Southampton, 1 in Newcastle, 1 in Warwick, 1 in Daresbury). The positions should be advertised in January 2022 for a start as soon as possible (March-April 2022). Most of the positions will be for 30 months.
New 3: Performance analysis and benchmarking on the full ARCHER2 system
On-going testing on ARCHER2 for Xcompact3d, OpenSBLI, uDALES and SENGA+ with up to 1,024 nodes (131,072 CPU cores). First investigations are showing that the system has some issues about 1,024 nodes and the ARCHER2 team is investigating the problem.
New 4: Podcast
A couple of more episodes of the podcast "turbulence at the exascale" were recorded in December --> all episodes
New 5: ISC2022 student competition
The ISC Student Cluster Competition 2022, co-organized by the HPC-AI Advisory Council and ISC Group, will take place during the ISC High Performance Conference (June 2022). Xcompact3d has been selected as one of the three applications which will be used for the competition.
