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.
