July 9, 2021 – Episode 82 of the Let’s Talk Exascale Podcast explores the efforts of the Department of Energy (DOE) Exascale Computing Project (ECP) – from the development challenges and successes to the ultimate expected impact of exascale computing on the world Society.
And this is the third in a series of episodes based on sharing best practices in preparing applications for the upcoming Aurora Exascale supercomputer at the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility.
The series highlights achievements in optimizing code to run on GPUs. In addition, we offer developers insights to help them overcome initial hurdles.
This episode focuses on the computer codes used in the ECP project called WDMapp or Whole Device Model application. The aim of the project is to develop a high-fidelity model of magnetically confined fusion plasmas. The modeling is urgently needed in order to plan experiments at the ITER – the International Tokamak Experimental Reactor – and at future fusion facilities.
We are joined by experts Tim Williams from Argonne National Laboratory, Aaron Scheinberg from Jubilee Development, Kai Germaschewski from the University of New Hampshire and Bryce Allen from Argonne National Laboratory and the University of Chicago.
Our topics:
the goals of WDMapp and how the supporting coupled computer codes fit in, insights into the research the codes are used for, preparing the codes for exascale and how the WDMapp project applications will benefit from exascale, preparing for the aurora machine, best practices , Advice to Researchers on Preparing Codes for GPU Accelerated Exascale Systems, and more.
