Nek User Meeting

Nek User Meeting on 29-31 July 2024 in Jülich.

We are excited to announce the upcoming Nek User Meeting, a semi-regular event for the Nek Community, set to convene in Jülich for the first time. This gathering presents a unique opportunity to engage with Nek developers and users to discuss topics in High-Performance Computing (HPC) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), to discover the latest Nek advancements, and to have discussions in an informal and enjoyable setting.

Tracing its origins back to the mid-1980s, the Nek project continues to push the envelope in supercomputing. Its flagship codes, nek5000 and nekRS, have been instrumental in shaping the landscape of high-performance CFD.  Nek’s involvement in prestigious HPC initiatives, such as the Exascale Computing Project (ECP) and JUREAP, has set benchmarks in performance and served as a blueprint for state-of-the-art CFD computations. Notably, Nek codes are at the heart of several major computational projects at the Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC), as well as in the US and Asia.

The Nek User Meeting is poised to offer a dynamic platform for knowledge sharing, featuring a series of invited talks and contributed presentations that feature the latest findings within the user/developer community. Newcomers will benefit from an introductory session designed to acquaint them with the Nek ecosystem.

The agenda can be found on the event website.

The organizing committee, Paul Fischer and Mathis Bode, looks forward seeing you in Jülich!
