Leader Work Package 1 at EoCoE Centre of Excellence: HPC for energy - Gif-sur-Yvette, , France
The Energy oriented Centre of Excellence in computing applications (EoCoE, read as "Echo") exploits the tremendous potential offered by the ever-growing computing infrastructures to foster and accelerate the European transition to a reliable low carbon energy supply using HPC.Scientific breakthroughs in the Energy domain will be enabled by designing and developing cutting-edge computational methods and high-end production-ready HPC software to port the numerical tools supported in EoCoE to run on the new exascale supercomputers. These new innovativealgorithms/solutions will impact key scientific and industrial applications by allowing to produce faster and more accurate modelling tools.EoCoE will aid the transition to sustainable energy sources and usage via targeted support for numerical modelling in five Scientific Challenges (Meteorology, Wind, Materials, Water and Fusion) by re-designing and promoting flagship exascale application codes from these user communities.These Challenges are embedded within a transversal multidisciplinary effort providing high-end expertise in applied mathematics and HPC technologies: scalable solvers, programming models, I/O data flow and ensemble runs.The objectives are the design and the development of cutting-edge computational methods and production-ready HPC software to bring scientific numerical tools to exascale computing levels and manage the data generated.Moreover, high-end exascale tools, co-design software development approaches and the innovative numerical tools are promoted to laboratories, industries and SMEs to optimize their products and processes. Targeted training activities are planned to reduce the skills gap.EoCoE, led by Maison de la Simulation (France), is structured around the Franco-German hub Maison de la Simulation - Jülich Research Centre.Its partners are experts in HPC as well as on energy research, ensuring that EoCoE is fully integrated in the overall European strategy for HPC.
