1. Introduction
|
|
With the start of CoEC, PerMedCoE, NOMAD and TREX at the beginning of October, there are now 14 European Centres of Excellence (CoEs) for High Performance Computing applications, promoting the use of upcoming extreme-scale and exascale computing capabilities and scaling up existing parallel codes towards exascale performance. We’re pleased to mention that we expect the start of a fifteenth CoE to be formally announced very soon!
|
In FocusCoE, we have decided to enhance our communication support for the CoEs by presenting their joint work and results on a single website that was launched a few weeks ago: hpccoe.eu. The objective is to increase the visibility of the whole set of CoEs, document their combined impact and make it easier for interested parties to find their results and services. Information on the FocusCoE project is still there, but it’s in just one of the several areas of the new website.
|
Furthermore, we were quite active in recent weeks in find ways of supporting the CoEs in joint activities at (virtual) conferences and events. The plans for the near future include the CAE 2020 conference and our joint workshop at the HiPEAC '21 event.
|
Hope to meet you there, at least on screen - and now, enjoy reading!

4. Introducing the CoE Flagship Codes
|
|
|
HemoCell, developed by the team of Prof Alfons Hoekstra at the University of Amsterdam (NL), is a high-performance library to simulate the transport properties of dense cellular suspensions, such as blood. It contains validated material model for red blood cells and additional support for further cell types (white blood cells, platelets). HemoCell is computationally capable of handling a large domain size with a high number of cells (> 10^4-10^6 cells). The code is currently installed and optimised for Cartesius, Lisa, and SuperMUC (Leibniz Supercomputing Centre system), and can be used by anyone with a valid account and CPU allocation on any of these systems.

The OpenIFS programme at Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) provides academic and research institutions with an easy-to-use version of the ECMWF Integrated Forecasting System model (OpenIFS model), the single column model (SCM) and the offline-surface model (OSM). The OpenIFS model provides the full forecast capability of IFS, supporting software and documentation but without the data assimilation system. ESiWACE supports the integration of OpenIFS in the Earth System Model (EC-Earth) and thus allows a more frequent update of the atmospheric model component following the ECMWF model upgrades. Further, compute performance enhancements provided with OpenIFS in ESiWACE can be tested more easily within the EC-Earth framework.
