Highlights of the Year

• In September 2019 Martin Parisot, previously CR in the ANGE team, has joined CARDAMOM;

• In September 2019 Nicolas Barral, previously post-doc in the Computational Geoscience and Energy division of the Department of Earth Science and Engineering at Imperial College London, has joined CARDAMOM

• H. Beaugendre has contributed to the organization of Inria's Autumn school, November 4-8 2019, Inria Bordeaux Sud-Ouest.

  School's objective: The school will aim at simulating a physical problem, from its modeling to its implementation in a high performance computing (HPC) framework. The school will offer both plenary courses and hands-on sessions. The physical problem considered will be the harmonic wave propagation.

  The first day will be dedicated to the modeling of the problem and its discretization using a Discontinuous Galerkin scheme. The following two days will be dedicated to linear algebra for solving large sparse systems. Background on direct, iterative and hybrid methods for sparse linear systems will be discussed. Hands-on on related parallel solvers will then be proposed. Will follow a session dedicated to advanced parallel schemes using task-based paradigms, including a hands-on with the starpu runtime system. The ultimate hands-on session will be devoted to the use of parallel profiling tools. The school will be closed with plenary talks illustrating the usage of such a workflow in an industrial context.

  38 participants, mostly PhD students and Post-docs.

  This school received support form cea, Inria, prace and sysnum.

Awards

In November 2019 M. Ricchiuto has been granted the honorary appointment of Adjunct Professor at the Civil and Environmental Engineering department of Duke University in North Carolina (USA).
