1. Introduction

Dear Reader,

In this issue we present CompBioMed Centre of Excellence. CompBioMed is a CoE focused on the use and development of computational methods for biomedical applications. We have users within academia, industry and clinical environments and are working to train more people in the use of our products and methods. Started in October 2016, CompBioMed was refunded in 2019 for a further 4 years. We already work in various exemplar areas; molecular medicine, cardiovascular medicine and neuromusculoskeletal medicine, and we are open to other areas of interest. Computational Methods, based on human biology, are now reaching maturity in the biomedical domain, rendering predictive models of health and disease increasingly relevant to clinical practice by providing a personalized aspect to treatment. Computer based modelling and simulation is well established in the physical sciences and engineering, where the use of high performance computing (HPC) is now routine. We aim to train users and developers in these areas to use the current HPC machines available in the EU and US, but also aim to scale up the most suitable codes to use the future exascale machines. For more information on our services and activities, check out our website: www.compbiomed.eu.

Dr. Emily Lumley, Project Manager for CompBioMed

3. Introducing the CoE Flagship Codes

compbiomed_long_logo
The Palabos library is a framework for general-purpose computational fluid dynamics (CFD), with a kernel based on the lattice Boltzmann (LB) method. It is used both as a research and an engineering tool: its programming interface is straightforward and makes it possible to set up fluid flow simulations with relative ease, or, if you are knowledgeable of the lattice Boltzmann method, to extend the library with your own models. Palabos stands for Parallel Lattice Boltzmann Solver. The library’s native programming interface in written in C++. It has practically no external dependencies (only Posix and MPI) and is therefore extremely easy to deploy on various platforms. Additional programming interfaces are available for the Python and Java programming languages, which make it easier to rapidly prototype and develop CFD applications. There exists currently no graphical user interface; some amount of programming is therefore necessary in order to get an application running.

The vision of HiDALGO’s urban air pollution application is to create cleaner air in cities by using high performance computing (HPC) and mathematical technologies. To this end, the project will provide policy makers and society with an easy-to-use computational tool as a service that accurately and quickly forecasts air pollution in cities with very high resolution.
