Applied High Performance Computing - Modelling, Algorithms and Simulation

Starting in the upcoming summer term at KIT, the LBRG will establish a funded teaching initiative consisting of the “Computational Fluid Dynamics and Simulation Lab” (CFDS Lab) and the Seminar “Modelling, Algorithms, Simulation” (Seminar MAS). Both courses will enable engineering, mathematics and data science students at KIT to make excessive use of the high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure at the Scientific Computing Center (SCC) at KIT, specifically the systems HoreKa (Tier-2) and BwUniCluster (Tier-3).

The practical course (CFDS Lab) will teach holistic solution approaches to contemporary problems in CFD and beyond, consisting of mathematical modeling, numerical mathematics, HPC, visualization, optimization and large-scale simulation and training data analysis for transport problems. The students will use these applied HPC skills in their own interdisciplinary projects to answer questions from current research projects. More information is available here.

The seminar course (Seminar MAS) will further deepen the students’ HPC knowledge and expand the fields of application. Students learn to independently configure advanced simulations and, above all, to pay attention to the efficiency and sustainability of their code. Together with the HPC experts from SCC at KIT, participants will work on current research topics from the fields of engineering, climate and material sciences. More information can be found here.

This initiative is jointly managed by Dr. Stephan Simonis, PD Dr. Mathias J. Krause, PD Dr. Gudrun Thäter, Dr. Jasmin Hörter and Prof. Dr. Martin Frank.

Both scientific computing courses of LBRG and SCC are funded as part of the Excellence Strategy of the German Federal and State Governments. More information about the Research Infrastructures in Research-Oriented Teaching (RIRO) ExU-program at KIT can be found here.
