Great work by Rini Banerjee, a student of Joint Mathematics and Computer Science at Imperial College London who spent summer 2020 doing a remote research internship on the Devito Project, under the supervision of Prof Paul Kelly and Dr Gerard Gorman. Rini has been working on the Devito Book: a set of Jupyter Notebook tutorials that […]

Implementation of high-performance GPU kernels in Nektar++ Due to the recent evolution of high performance computing hardware from single-core central processing units (CPUs) to multi-core CPUs and the emergence of general purpose graphics processing units (GPGPUs or short GPUs), these shared memory systems are now characterised by a high degree of parallelism. They also possess […]

Date: Wed, 30 September 2020, 14:00 – 16:00 Summary: Beyond CFD: In this workshop we wish to share experiences on application of PDE solvers which go beyond CFD tools, for example composable solvers, stability analysis, inverse problems, data assimilation and uncertainty quantification. The format of the on-line workshop will involve a series of 3 short […]

Research Software Engineering and PRISM  Photo by Glenn Carstens-Peters on Unsplash  The PRISM platform is characterised by its group of advanced scientific research software and the teams that build and maintain this software. Software engineering expertise is therefore a significant part of PRISM. The term Research Software Engineering or RSE is becoming increasingly common within the research community. Indeed, the […]

The PyFR Symposium 2020 comprised talks from industry and the PyFR team on a range of topics related to the theory of high-order Flux Reconstruction schemes, their implementation in PyFR, and their application to industrially relevant flow problems. The overarching objective of the symposium was to help bridge the gap between industrial requirements and academic […]

A symposium and tutorial day for the CFD solver PyFR have been held virtually in June 2020. PyFR is a high-order accurate CFD solver designed for solving unsteady turbulent flow problems in the vicinity of complex geometries. It has application in a range of engineering sectors, including commercial and military aviation, wind engineering and submarine […]

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 […]

We 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 […]
