On the afternoon of october 22nd, Niclas Jansson hosted our latest CEEC webinar on Neko for 26 participants from across Europe and beyond. As promised in the event listing, he provided an introduction to Neko and its capabilities, from installation to creating and running simulations. He also focused on the major changes in terms of features and functionalities, user interaction, and improvements made in the upcoming release of Neko v1.0.
Neko is a portable framework for high-order spectral element-based simulations, mainly focusing on incompressible/compressible flow. The framework is written in a modern object-oriented approach and supports various hardware backends, ranging across general-purpose processors, accelerators, and vector processors. Neko has demonstrated excellent performance and scalability across various hardware architectures and was nominated as a finalist for the ACM Gordon Bell prize in 2023.
Whether or not you were able to attend the webinar live, you can now use this video as well as the references and materials from the slides below to start working with Neko on your own time.
