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

Our team Plasma-PEPSC are thrilled to introduce our project at EuroHPC Summit 2024 in Antwerp, Belgium. Together, we are pushing scientific boundaries with four European flagship plasma codes: BIT, GENE, PIConGPU, and Vlasiator.

Plasma-PEPSC CoE together with ENCCS organized the hybrid training workshop from 13-15 February at Stockholm, Sweden. This workshop was focused on bringing together code developers, researchers, and research software engineers working on plasma science, and create an amazing opportunity for sharing innovative ideas and best practice for potential users[…]
