FFplus: Launch of the FFplus Calls for Projects |
FFplus (successor to the Fortissimo projects) is a European initiative highlighting the adoption of high-performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI) by SMEs and startups across Europe, showcasing the business benefits and impacts of adopting HPC and AI in real business models.
During the project's duration, SMEs and startups will be supported by six open calls to fund experiments (type 1) and innovation studies (type 2).
The first two calls for projects have been launched.
The experiments will focus on the adoption of High-Performance Computing (HPC) by SMEs to solve specific issues faced by SMEs that have never used intensive computing services or have never had the experience.
On the other hand, the innovation studies will support European SMEs and startups already active in the field of generative AI technology but lacking the necessary computing resources to scale up.
Selected candidates will receive funding and support from FFplus to carry out these sub-projects.
More information can be found at the link: https://www.ffplus-project.eu
Submission deadline: September 4, 2024, at 5:00 PM (Brussels time).

CASTIEL-2 :Seventh "Code of the month" : GROMACS by BioExcel |
GROMACS is a molecular simulation suite with tens of thousands of users worldwide in both academia and industry.
Biomedical applications (biomolecules) are likely the most common, but use of GROMACS is far from limited to that.
It is also popular in other areas that require atomistic simulations such as polymer physics and (nano)flow
13/03 from 11:00 to 12:00 CET |

CASTIEL-2: 10th "Code of the month": EoCoE proposal on Alya-Wind - September 18, 11AM to 12PM |
|
Alya is a high-performance computational mechanics finite element code that solves complex coupled multi-physics BSC problems, mostly from the engineering realm. Alya uses a Fractional Step scheme to solve the incompressible Navier Stokes equations. A Runge Kutta explicit time discretization is used for temporal discretization.
Alya has been used by Iberdrola for wind resource assessment for more than ten years.
Alya is a relatively mature code that is used in several CoEs. Moreover, it is part of the Unified European Applications Benchmark Suite for CPU and GPU. It has been tested on most European Supercomputers with scalability results up to more than 100.000 cores.
During EoCoE-II, in collaboration with the FAU node-level optimization team Alya's GPU implementation has been significantly optimized. Moreover, excellent weak scalability has been obtained using the Algebraic Multigrid solve PSCToolkit up to 16000 million elements.
During the last two years, the Large Scale Computational Fluid Dynamics group at BSC has been developing a new high-order spectral element code, named SOD2D. The use of high-order elements has provided superior accuracy which is critical for scale-resolving simulation. The code is fully open source and has opened the way to new wind energy collaborations with Ocean Winds, a joint venture between EDP and Engie.
The Large Scale Computational Fluid Dynamics group at BSC has a strong interest in collaboration with real-world users. While this talk will focus mainly on wind applications, examples from other fields such as automotive and aircraft aerodynamics, where BSC has collaborated with SEAT and Airbus, will also be presented.

POP-3 : Performance Optimisation and Productivity - Le Centre d'Excellence sur l'Optimisation des Performances et la Productivité |
Teratec is a partner in the European POP3 (Performance Optimisation and Productivity) project as part of Horizon Europe, the ninth framework program following Horizon 2020 and supported by EUROHPC-JU. This center of excellence brings together the best HPC experts at the European level, providing free analysis and optimization services for high-performance computing applications developed and/or used by businesses, academics, and research centers across Europe.
For Teratec, this project offers an additional opportunity to support its members, as well as all European organizations (industries, research centers, laboratories), by enabling them to optimize their applications to increase efficiency, which generally leads to a significant return on investment.
By way of illustration, POP has already achieved remarkable goals, and here are some "Success Stories":
• Performance analysis by POP experts improved the performance of a CFD application by up to six times.
• Thanks to the efforts of POP experts, the execution speed of a magnetic materials study code was increased by 46%.
• The intervention of POP experts reduced the execution time of parallel simulations of astrophysical fluid dynamics code by 40%.

TERATEC interviewed for the EXCELLERAT project!
|
Excellerat brings together the European expertise needed to create a Centre of Excellence in industrial engineering with a wide range of services, paving the way towards exascale, as part of the HPC strategy driven by EuroHPC. To these ends, Excellerat's first pahse, which started in December 2018 for a duration of 36 months, was based on six reference applications: Nek5000, Alya, AVBP, TPLS, FEniCS and Coda. These codes are used in industry and are promising candidates for execution on exascale demonstrators, pre-exascale systems and exascale machines. The Excellerat Centre of Excellence has just been extended from January 2023 for a further 4 years. |
