1. Welcome
|
Welcome to the 30th issue of the EXCELLERAT newsletter – and the final one of 2025!
|
This autumn has been a particularly active season for us. We have seen a series of successful training events and collaborations that continue to strengthen the European HPC community. From Barcelona Supercomputing Center’s “Advancing CFD Through HPC” course to new opportunities coming up in Toulouse, Bologna, and Ljubljana, it’s been inspiring to witness how training and knowledge exchange remain central to EXCELLERAT’s mission.
|
In October, the EXCELLERAT P2 consortium held its review meeting, where we received positive feedback on our progress – a testament to the excellent work of our partners across Europe. As we close out 2025, we look forward to an equally dynamic and collaborative year ahead, continuing to advance engineering applications for HPC.

Best regards,
Bastian Koller

|
|
From October 14 to 16, 2025, the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) hosted the EXCELLERAT training “Advancing CFD Through HPC”, co-organised with CECAM.
|
This three-day course brought together master’s and PhD students, as well as industry professionals, to explore how High-Performance Computing (HPC) is transforming Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Participants delved into topics such as multiphysics and multiscale modelling, GPU programming, conjugate heat transfer, and performance optimisation for exascale computing.

|
From September 23 to 25, 2025, EXCELLERAT P2 took part in the CASTIEL 2 All-Hands Meeting (AHM) in Tallinn, Estonia. This event gathered representatives from the EuroCC network of National Competence Centres (NCCs) and multiple European Centres of Excellence (CoEs).
|
EXCELLERAT P2 contributed to the poster sessions, providing a platform to present project updates and exchange ideas with colleagues from other CoEs. Informal discussions during the event reinforced the importance of continued collaboration on shared challenges, including knowledge transfer to industry and cross-project communication.
