The future of plasma simulation is exascale

PLASMA-PEPSC is making plasma simulations applications ready for the upcoming European exascale supercomputers.

OBJECTIVE 1

Enable unprecedented plasma simulations and associated extreme-data analytics to address plasma physics grand challenges that are impossible to solve on current extreme-scale systems and require exascale computing

OBJECTIVE 2

Maximise the performance of four European plasma codes (BIT, GENE, PIConGPU, Vlasiator) in terms of parallel performance and efficiency on European exascale and pre-exascale systems, building on algorithmic advances as well as on programming model and library developments.

OBJECTIVE 3

Establish and ensure an integrated HPC software engineering approach for deploying, verifying, and validating extreme-scale kinetic plasma simulations that can serve as a community standard.

HAPPENING IN PLASMA-PEPSC

Latest news

We recently concluded the fourth Plasma-PEPSC face-to-face meeting held at Max Planck Computing and Data Facility (MPCDF) on 15-16 October. Over two productive days, we had insightful technical talks from our partners and engaged in valuable discussions.The talks were focused on showcasing the progress being made with four Plasma[…]

The team members of Plasma-PEPSC conduct Face to Face meetings twice a year to discuss the progress and plan the project activities for the subsequent semester. This group picture is from our last meeting held at Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC), in April 2024. Our team at BSC also organized[…]
