Innovative simulation methods for large scale numeric prototypes on emerging architectures computers

Participants : Emmanuel Agullo, Olivier Coulaud, Aurélien Esnard, Mathieu Faverge, Luc Giraud, Abdou Guermouche, Pierre Ramet, Jean Roman.

Grant: Regional council

Dates: 2013 – 2015

Partners: EPIs REALOPT , STORM from Inria Bordeaux Sud-Ouest, CEA-CESTA and l’Institut pluridisciplinaire de recherche sur l'environnement et les matériaux (IPREM) .

Overview: Numerical simulation is now integrated into all the design levels and the scientific studies for both academic and industrial contexts. Given the increasing size and sophistication of the simulations carried out, the use of parallel computing is inescapable. The complexity of such achievements requires collaboration of multidisciplinary teams capable of mastering all the necessary scientific skills for each component constituting the chain of expertise. In this project we consider each of these elements as well as efficient methods for parallel codes coupling. All these works are intended to contribute to the design of large scale parallel multi-physics simulations. In addition to this research human activities the regional council also support some innovative computing equipment that will be embedded in the PlaFRIM experimental plateform, project led by O. Coulaud.
