Project Summary


The research project
Multiphysics simulations for geodynamics on heterogeneous exascale systemsis a multidisciplinary project combining the fields of mathematics, computer science, geophysics, and high-performance computing.

Each field is represented by a dedicated project partner, which brings in their experience.

These are the Chair of Numerical Analysis at TUM, the Chair of System Simulation at FAU Erlangen, the Chair of Geophysics at LMU München, and finally, the LRZ Garching with their knowledge about supercomputers.


Firstly, the project aims to improve the performance of the matrix-free finite-element-based framework HyTeG, in particular by techniques for data reduction through surrogate operators.

Furthermore, we aim to extend the framework with mixed-precision approaches, which will be implemented and analyzed.


Secondly, we aim at a volume coupling of the high-performance packages waLBerla, HyTeG, and MesaPD to solve complex multiphysics problems.

The coupling is done across package boundaries. This also requires more sophisticated approaches in load-balancing.

Tasksin the project include
- theefficientimplementationofnewmodels,methods,andalgorithmsintoexisting_high-performance_frameworks,
- the fast prototyping of new ideas in individualcode,
- aswellasthepresentationoftheresultstothescientificcommunityinjournals,atconferences,andaslecture contributions forstudents.
