1st Daresbury-Jülich Workshop

A first exchange meeting between the Scientific Computing Department based at Daresbury Laboratory, UK and JSC's Computational Science Division took place on 7th and 8th of May in Jülich.

The workshop focussed on two main topics: fluid dynamics and molecular modelling, with the aim of comparing in-house code development and HPC-related issues at both sites. Several areas were identified for follow-up activities, such as benchmarking of CFD codes, accelerating molecular dynamics codes with the help of efficient algorithms, and cross-testing applications on the BlueGene/Q machines at each site. A 2nd workshop with extended scope is planned for 2014.
