Supercomputing Spotlights is a webinar series featuring short presentations that highlight the impact and successes of high-performance computing (HPC) throughout our world. Presentations, emphasizing achievements and opportunities in HPC, are intended for the broad international community, especially students and newcomers to the field. Supercomputing Spotlights is an outreach initiative of SIAG/Supercomputing (https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://siag-sc.org__;!!G_uCfscf7eWS!dDe9LC88lO9K3VRvM2-yH2DvCT-LNEISJJoUv2WQwZBwbBdPRouPkU6FUnjoZ5WJnFzYsOFtnI2ky3KxGjvAsYJHAyzEQxA$ ) …  Join us!

Abstract: The demand for modeling and simulation in large-scale computational science has consistently driven the development of new numerical algorithms that are tailored to new architectures. For example, exascale architectures favor algorithms, such as high-order finite elements, that expose fine-grain parallelism and maximize the ratio of floating-point operations to energy intensive data movement. In this talk we review recent work on GPU-oriented algorithms and software for high-order meshing, discretizations and solvers, and demonstrate their impact in several large-scale applications from the US Department of Energy.

Bio: Tzanio Kolev is a computational mathematician at the Center for Applied Scientific Computing of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) where he works on finite element meshing, discretizations and solver algorithms for large-scale HPC applications. He joined LLNL in 2004 after earning a Ph.D. in Mathematics from Texas A&M University. Tzanio is the project leader for the MFEM finite element library and was the director of the co-design Center for Efficient Exascale Discretizations (CEED) in DOE's Exascale Computing Project (ECP). Tzanio’s research interests include the development and analysis of finite element discretizations, high-order methods and applications, performance optimizations and scalability, discretization-enhanced multigrid solvers, and the design and implementation of large-scale scientific software.
