The use of in-situ analysis tools by EXCELLERAT
The use of in-situ analysis tools by EXCELLERAT Paraview-Catalyst is widely used to perform in-situ visualisation, for example the OpenFOAM and Code-Saturne HPC codes have successfully used this software. In order to use Catalyst, a given code should be prepared. First, an appropriate version of Paraview-Catalyst must be available on the computer system on which […]

High-performance computing challenge: How can engineers effectively leverage HPC technology?
High-performance computing challenge: How can engineers effectively leverage HPC technology? When developing or improving products, engineers face the challenge of analysing complex simulations to test their designs. High-performance computing (HPC) is used to solve major problems in engineering by performing demanding operations such as simulations relatively quickly. Also, by processing more precise operations, HPC can […]

EXCELLERAT collaborates with the HiDALGO Centre of Excellence
EXCELLERAT collaborates with the HiDALGO Centre of Excellence The two Centres of Excellence (CoEs) HiDALGO – HPC and Big Data Technologies for Global Systems – and EXCELLERAT are successfully collaborating, for instance in the improvement of HiDALOGO’s Urban Air Pollution Pilot. HiDALGO developed the pilot and asked the EXCELLERAT team for support during the pilot’s […]
Nek5000 in EXCELLERAT: towards Exascale
Nek5000 in EXCELLERAT: towards Exascale One of EXCELLERAT’s tasks is improving Nek5000’s Exascale readiness, particularly with respect to accelerators. As a starting point, we used an OpenACC version of the proxy-app Nekbone and focused on further optimising the small matrix-matrix kernels which constitutes most of the work in the full Nek5000. By tuning the OpenACC […]
