As part of this year's Computational Fluid Dynamics and Simulation (CFDS) Lab Course, the LBRG organized an excursion to the HoreKa supercomputer at SCC, KIT. The excursion marks the completion of an inspiring summer term with 38 registered participants from Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science programs. The CFDS Lab is offered by a funded collaboration between the Lattice Boltzmann Research Group and the Scientific Computing Center (https://www.scc.kit.edu/): Stephan Simonis, Mathias J. Krause, Gudrun Thaeter, Jasmin Hörter, and Martin Frank. In the course, we enable students to efficiently use the large-scale computing infrastructures at KIT such as HoreKa for scientific simulations with highly efficient codes such as OpenLB. This course is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Science as part of the Excellence Strategy of the German Federal and State Governments. More information on is available here We gratefully acknowledge the computing time for our course provided on the high-performance computer HoreKa by the National High-Performance Computing Center at KIT (NHR-Verein, NHR-Alliance Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT)). This center is jointly supported by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research and the Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts of Baden-Württemberg, as part of the National High-Performance Computing joint funding program.HoreKa is partly funded by the German Research Foundation.
