  • From Lighthouse Cases to Exascale Practice: Outcomes of CEEC

    From Lighthouse Cases to Exascale Practice: Outcomes of CEEC

    Since 2023, the Center of Excellence in Exascale CFD (CEEC) has worked to make high-fidelity CFD ready for Europe’s exascale systems. Its work has been driven by six lighthouse cases, addressing challenges from aeronautics, offshore energy, process engineering, shipping, and atmospheric flows, chosen to push physics and software to their limits. This community workshop presents…

  • Localized Erosion of an Offshore Wind-Turbine Foundation

    Uncertainty in suction bucket installation can increase the risk of localized soil erosion and foundation failure, with potential consequences for installation time and offshore wind project costs. Using HPC-powered, grain-scale fluid–soil simulations, CEEC improved the accuracy of engineering models for predicting erosion and suction behaviour, helping reduce installation uncertainty and support more cost-efficient foundation installation.…

  • Presenting CEEC at ISC

    Join our own Niclas Jannson at the EuroHPC JU booth J30 for an overview of CEEC and our progress. You’ll have a chance to ask questions and learn what CEEC work could mean for you and the future of CFD.

  • Calibration of Analytical Suction Bucket Installation Models Using Grain-Scale LBM-DEM Simulations

    Suction bucket foundations offer significant advantages for offshore wind applications, enabling fast and cost-efficient installation. However, installation failures due to piping erosion remain a critical challenge, particularly in loose or highly permeable seabeds. Understanding the interplay between seepage flow, soil properties, and foundation geometry during suction installation is essential for improving design guidelines and installation…

  • Advancing European HPC: Lessons from Porting Scientific Codes to RISC-V

    On April 29, CEEC hosted our latest  webinar exploring a key question for Europe’s digital future: how ready are our scientific applications for emerging European hardware? As efforts around European chip sovereignty accelerate, porting and evaluating applications on new architectures is becoming essential. In this session, CEEC experts shared hands-on experience working with long-vector RISC-V…

  • CEEC Progress Towards more energy-efficient CFD

    Energy efficiency is a growing challenge in high-performance computing as systems become more powerful and complex. We analyzed energy use across major European supercomputers using CFD applications, highlighting how GPUs and mixed-precision methods can reduce energy consumption while maintaining performance and accuracy.

  • Exploring CI/CD Tools and Workflows with CEEC

    On 26 November, we hosted our latest CEEC webinar—an hour dedicated to making Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) more accessible to researchers and developers working with HPC software. CI/CD can feel like a big leap if you’ve never used it before, but the session showed just how transformative even simple workflows can be for…

  • Exploring CI/CD Tools and Workflows for Research and HPC Software Projects

    Exploring CI/CD Tools and Workflows for Research and HPC Software Projects

    Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) are essential for sustainable and reproducible software development. This webinar provides a beginner-friendly introduction to CI/CD with a focus on the EuroHPC community. We will explore why CI/CD matters, review a selection of tools commonly used or even developed within European projects, and discuss their strengths, limitations, and typical…

  • CEEC at ISC25

    Join our own Niclas Jansson at the Euro HPC JU booth for a presentation on our project and progress so far!

  • CEEC at EuroHPCSummit2025

    We ahad the pleasure of joining over 30 other EuroHPC Joint Undertaking funded projects developing skills, codes, technologies, and even international cooperation in the poster showcase at last week’s #EuroHPCSummit2025 in Krakow, Poland. As we enter the second half of our project runtime, we chose to showcase the scaling results of our codes so far.…
