Keynote

Multiphysics simulation not yet at the extreme scale.
Prof. Dr. Ulrich Rüde, Friedrich-Alexander Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg

Exploiting future extreme scale computers to their full capability will require innovation on many levels: New algorithmic paradigms must address unprecedented levels of concurrency in heterogenous systems. In this talk I will report on our work towards extreme scale predictive simulations in physics and engineering problems. Our focus will be on coupled multifield problems as they arise in Earth mantle convection and in the direct numerical simulation of multiphase flows. We model the whole volume of the planet with a finite element mesh of 1km resolution, resulting in a linear system with more than one trillion (1012) degrees of freedom and a solution vector with a size of 80 TByte. Similarly large models can be used with the lattice Boltzmann method for the direct simulation of particulate suspensions for environmental or biomedical flows. Based on these examples, we will discuss our challenges on the road to predictive science.
