Don't miss the official presentation of the work on NEKO that is nominated for the Gordon Bell Prize!
Come listen to our own Niclas Jansson talk about his work on NEKO, which has been shortlisted for the 2023 ACM Gordon Bell Prize. We have the great fortune of being able to build on this work during the cEEC project. Learn more in his interview at the LUMI stand (booth 206)!
Earlier this fall, Samuel Kemmler, a member of CEEC first through the partner FAU and now BAM, worked alongside other scientists in his field to organize a course of the…
Join us for our first annual community workshop! The energy consumption constraint for large-scale computing encourages scientists to revise the architecture design of hardware but also applications, algorithms, as well as the underlying working/ storage precision. The main aim is to make the computations energy-efficient (aka sustainable) and robust numerically but also in terms of fault tolerance. On the level of algorithmic solutions, we propose to utilize all provided resources wisely by exhibiting algorithms to computation overlapping but even more communication overlapping strategies. We also promote mixed-precision strategies with the aid of computer arithmetic tools like VerifiCarlo and its variable precision backend. Hence, before lowering precision, one must ensure that the simulation is numerically correct, e.g. by relying on alternative floating-point models/ rounding to pinpoint numerical bugs and to estimate the accuracy. We also work on fault tolerant and resilient algorithms, adaptivity and meshing/ mesh refinement that adapt to the heterogeneous nature of current machines. Another issue discussed in the workshop is the adaptation of adjoint-based topology optimization methods to spectral-element CFD codes. Therefore, in this workshop, we will share our approaches, lessons learnt with preliminary results, and outline perspectives for the upcoming three years of the project.
Until recent years, linear algebra solvers were predominantly operating with double precision or binary64. With the advent of AI, in particular deep learning, lower floating-point precisions formats were introduced to…
It’s been a while since our last update, and we’re still in the early days of our work. That said, we’ve been travelling to introduce ourselves and present some of the work we’ll be building on during our 4 project years. Maybe you’ve seen us? This summer we had various presentations both at ISC High-Performance and at the Platform for Advanced Scientific Computing (PASC) conference
The third in a series of presentations from Roman Iakymchuk on work using tools to investigate mixed precision possibilities. He and his co-author Pablo de Oliveira Castro introduce an approach to address the issue of sustainable computations with computer arithmetic tools. They use the variable precision backend (VPREC) to identify parts of code that can benefit from smaller floating-point formats and show preliminary results on several proxy applications.
This minisymposium was chaired by a CEEC consortium member and contained the presentation of another CEEC consortium member. The arrival of exascale computing has opened up unprecedented simulation capabilities for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) applications. While offering high theoretical peak performance and high memory bandwidth, efficiently exploiting these systems necessitates complex programming models and significant programming investments .
