The PyFR Tutorial Day 2020 comprised step-by-step walk-throughs of several test cases, including scale-resolving CFD simulations in parallel on multiple GPUs. An overview of the PyFR codebase was also given, as well as deep-dive sessions into specific topics of interest. We are grateful to Amazon Web Services for providing access to multiple EC2 instances, each […]

The first global, virtual TRANSFORM took place in September 2020 (TRANSFORM 2020: Schedule). The Software Underground brought lots of interesting and useful sessions on the digital subsurface. This event was a bit different from most conferences: the sessions were fully participatory and interactive. Rhodri Nelson from Imperial College London gave a tutorial on “Geophysical Modeling […]
Learn MoreWe are delighted to announce that Prof Piggott, PRISM Co-I, has been successful in being awarded the following EPSRC grants: EPSRC Impact Acceleration award “Multi-scale adjoint-enabled modelling to improve operational storm surge forecasting at the Flood Forecasting Centre (FFC) and support the wider modelling community” funded for 12 months to work on translational impact activities […]
Learn MoreAn EPSRC Impact Acceleration grant was awarded to Co-I Colin Cotter to fund a research associate (Dr Jack Betteridge) for six months from October 1 2019 to March 30 2020 to accelerate the impact of EPSRC-funded research (through the Mathematics of Planet Earth Centre for Doctoral Training) on hybridisable implicit solvers for atmospheric dynamical cores […]

Date: 21st May 2020 Location: on-line Summary: In this workshop we wish to share experiences and best practices on the use of workshops and tutorials for the PRISM related software. In light of the currently changes due to […]
Learn MoreIntroduction Nektar++ is a sophisticated computational fluid dynamics codebase developed for multiple operating systems with an involved set of build dependencies. Current development relies on a Continuous Integration and Delivery (CI/CD) pipeline based on a Buildbot farm with test environments provided by virtual machines using on-premises compute infrastructure as execution hosts. Code hosting is provided […]
Learn MoreIn modern computer architectures, the gap between processor clock speed and memory bandwidth is constantly increasing, meaning that to attain optimal performance, algorithms with a high degree of arithmetic intensity – i.e the ratio between computations performed and the amount of data transferred from the memory (DRAM) – are required. In this context, high-order finite […]
Learn MoreIn this project we are enabling ‘coupling’ in the Firedrake stack, for the purpose of simulation, optimisation and uncertainty quantification. We are particularly interested in the type of coupling in which two or more domains of possibly distinct physical natures interact with each other via interfaces. One characteristic example of such coupling is ‘ocean-atmosphere coupling’ […]
