News 1: 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 are currently being advertised for a start as soon as possible (March-April 2022).
New 2: Hackathon
The Xcompact3d team of developers participated in a hackathon jointly organised by SFTC Daresbury and Nvidia. The hackathon was an opportunity to test a mini-app called x3div to investigate the potential of the Fortran command "do concurrent" for replacing directives for accelerated computing. Investigations are still on-going but it was possible to run a "do concurrent" version of x3div on Nvidia GPUs. The next steps will focus on improving the performance of x3div on GPUs as well as testing it with Intel/GNU Fortran compilers on multiple CPUs.
News 3: LIFD John Fox Annual Lecture
Dr Sylvain Laizet will be delivering the keynote talk at the LIFD John Fox Annual Lecture in Leeds. The event will focus on active flow control solutions for wall-bounded flows, free-shear flows and wind turbines. The LIFD John Fox Annual Lecture is kindly supported by Dr R V Ahilan (ABL Group) and is organised by the Leeds Institute for Fluid Dynamics.
New 4: Podcast
A couple of more episodes of the podcast "turbulence at the exascale" were recorded in January --> all episodes
