Description

The SKALB project (Lattice-Boltzmann methods for scalable multiphysics applications) aims at the development and efficiently implementation of Lattice-Boltzmann based CFD solvers for the simulation of complex multiphysics applications on petascale class computers. The project partners are scientists from the universities of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Dortmund, Stuttgart, and Braunschweig and from IANUS Simulation GmbH. SKALB is supported by numerous industrial partners from Germany and abroad.



Goals

Apart from specific issues concerning CFD solvers, SKALB also deals with interdisciplinary aspects of petascale computing topics. As an example the following two topics are relevant in this context:

  • Sustainable software structures for the efficient numerical simulation on petascale class computers.
  • Development of efficient strategies of parallelization and optimization for massive parallel homogeneous and heterogeneous architectures.
