Projects and Collaborations

Over the years, the SDL Plasma Physics developed strong links within the research center and Europe. As a result, the SDL was involved in a number of projects with external funding.

EoCoE

The Energy oriented Centre of Excellence in computing applications uses the tremendous potential offered by the ever-growing computing infrastructure to foster and accelerate the European transition to a reliable and low carbon energy supply using HPC (High Performance Computing).

NVIDIA Application Lab

NVIDIA joined forces with JSC in form of new competency centers to advance the creation and optimisation of research codes on GPU-accelerated systems.

ScaFaCoS

Scalable Fast Coulomb Solver - is a network project of German research groups working on a unified parallel library for various methods to solve electrostatic (and gravitational) problems in large particle simulations.

TEXT - Towards EXaflop applicaTions

The TEXT project explores a new hybrid programming model SMPSs/MPI that will enable applications to follow the path to exascale. Within this approach, SMPSs provides the necessary support for asynchrony and heterogeneity as well as enabling incremental parallelization, modularity and portability of applications.

SCIPIO

Development of a SCalable Data Exchange Interface for Fast Parallel I/O for the EFDA ITM Task Force. JARA-SIM funded project on scalable I/O for magnetic fusion codes connected by workflow tools.

Mont-Blanc

This project will develop HPC systems from today's energy-efficient solutions used in embedded and mobile devices. As of today, the CPUs of these devices are mostly designed by ARM. However, ARM processors have not been designed for HPC, and ARM chips have never been used in HPC systems before, leading to a number of significant challenges.

ExtreMe Matter Institute (EMMI)

The ExtreMe Matter Institute EMMI at the GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research is dedicated to research in the area of matter at the extremes of density and temperature, ranging from the coldest to the hottest forms of matter in the Universe.

Nu-FuSE - Nuclear Fusion Simulations at Exascale

Given the high cost of developing exascale computers and their software, any application to use them must start from a base of having a very solid socio-economic, scientific and technological base. In addition, it must bring together experts from the application science, computational scientists and, ideally, those who will work to exploit the results for wider benefit. The NuFuSE project addresses all of these issues.

EIC

The Exascale Innovation Center - will develop hardware and software for an exascale supercomputer by the end of this decade. Five scientists from the IBM development laboratory in Böblingen and five scientists from Jülich will be collaborating with a team of scientists at the IBM Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights.
