The PASC-funded SPH-EXA: Optimizing Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics for Exascale Computing starts on July 1, 2017 and will run for 36 months. The goal of this project is to develop an exascale-ready SPH-mini-app and to employ a co-design approach for three SPH codes: SPHYNX, ChaNGa, and SPH-flow to optimize their performance for the upcoming exascale computing […]

A number of master in computer science students together with bachelor students in computational science will visit the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS) in Lugano on June 23, 2017. They will hear, see, and ‘smell’ the supercomputing machines behind the excellent computational science performed in Switzerland. They will also learn about other exciting activities that […]
