Introduction Nektar++ is a sophisticated computational fluid dynamics codebase developed for multiple operating systems with an involved set of build dependencies. Current development relies on a Continuous Integration and Delivery (CI/CD) pipeline based on a Buildbot farm with test environments provided by virtual machines using on-premises compute infrastructure as execution hosts. Code hosting is provided […]

In modern computer architectures, the gap between processor clock speed and memory bandwidth is constantly increasing, meaning that to attain optimal performance, algorithms with a high degree of arithmetic intensity – i.e the ratio between computations performed and the amount of data transferred from the memory (DRAM) – are required. In this context, high-order finite […]

In this project we are  enabling ‘coupling’ in the Firedrake stack, for the purpose of simulation, optimisation and uncertainty quantification. We are particularly interested in the type of coupling in which two or more domains of possibly distinct physical natures interact with each other via interfaces. One characteristic example of such coupling is ‘ocean-atmosphere coupling’ […]

Date: 2-6 September 2019 Location: Imperial College London, UK Scientific scope:  We have received unprecedented interest in the IUTAM Transition 2019. We received nearly 200 abstract submissions. We run plenary sessions, individual talks and networking sessions. The scientific programme covered a range of fundamental topic areas, including: Global analysis of instabilities and receptivities for complex […]

The Devito dev team have reason to be more excited than most about DownUnder GeoSolutions (DUG) newly announced 250 petaflop (single-precision) supercomputer, known as “Bubba”. In order to make full use of these FLOPS, DUG have been developing a new seismic imaging software stack using our open source framework, Devito. Devito is an open source Domain-specific Language (DSL) […]

We are very excited to announce that the follow-on platform grant, PRISM II, has been funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council. It will commence on 1st July 2018.

Imperial College is hosting the 2018 PETSc User Meeting. Three of the co-organisers are from the PRISM team. PETSc, the Portable, Extensible Toolkit for Scientific Computing, is one of the world’s most widely used software libraries for high-performance computational science. We’ll hold our fourth annual user meeting (second in the EU), give tutorials on how […]
