SCOPE:  Radiation-Hydrodynamics at Scale using FleCSI 

Develop a radiation-hydrodynamics code based on FleCSI. This application will be run at scale on the NVIDIA superchip, Grace-Hopper, featured in the supercomputer Venado at LANL. The computer scientists, applied mathematicians and physicists will work together in a Co-Design manner to write a radiative diffusion library and couple it to their hydro code. Multiple physics problems can then be run with this tool: Lowrie radiating shock, Su-Olson Marshak wave or whatever problem is of interest to the team of students. The FleCSI application, base for this development, features several topologies and backends to run the application at scale using task-based parallelism.

ADDRESSED TO:

Graduate students, Ph.D. students in Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, and Physics.
Computer Scientists: HPC, Kokkos/CUDA/HIP, MPI.
Applied Mathematicians: Iterative and Multigrid Methods. Preconditioners.
Physicists: Hydrodynamics, Radiative Transfer (diffusion, multigroup etc), Shock Physics.

VENUE:

LANL Co-Design 2024 Summer School will take place at Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, New Mexico, with a sunny climate throughout the year.
Few hours from the main USA National Parks of Grand Canyons, Zion or Arches, the laboratory is ideally located to discover and visit the south-west of the USA.

STRUCTURE:

The Los Alamos National Laboratory Co-Design Summer School was created to train future scientists to work on the kinds of interdisciplinary teams that are demanded by today’s scientific challenges. Launched in 2011, the summer school recruits top candidates in a range of fields spanning domain sciences, applied mathematics, computational and computer sciences, and computer architecture. Participants work together to solve a focused problem that is designed to build the skills needed to tackle the grand challenges of the future. Foremost among the skills on which we focus is the ability of students to work across disciplines with other team members, while employing their own unique expertise. This is the heart of Co-Design.

Co-Design is the social and technical equivalent of a multiple-constraint optimization problem. The rapid evolution of computing architectures and the expanding space between specializations in domain science and computer architecture means that it is virtually impossible for a single individual to cover all of the skills needed to solve current-day computational science challenges. Co-Design bridges this space through interactions between members of an interdisciplinary team. With the right amount of overlap, team members can communicate with each other effectively to solve a problem.
