In September and October 2024 the European Centre of Excellence CoE SPACE, in collaboration with: NCC Czechia, NCC Austria, UNITO, CNRS-CRAL, INAF, LMU, and UiO will organise a series of events and workshops focused on HPC codes with astrophysical and cosmological applications: link
PLUTO Symposium
September 23 – 25, 2024, hybrid form – Torino, Italy and online
The PLUTO symposium 2024 aims at bringing together developers, scientists and users with the purpose of sharing recent numerical algorithms, new code features as well as challenging astrophysical applications. A special focus will be given to the GPU porting of the code and its forthcoming release. A hands-on session will also take place in order to help the new users to get used to the code structure.
While we strongly encourage in-person participation, we will also ensure remote participation through the Webex application.

FIL and BHAC from inspiral to ringdown and beyond
Webinar organised by the SPACE CoE, NCC Czechia and Goethe Universitaet Frankfurt (GUF), September 17th, 2024, 15.00 – 16.30 CEST, online
The talk is intended for experts in HPC that non-necessarily have a domain-specific knowledge in cosmology and astrophysics
BHAC: This webinar can serve as an introduction to a state-of-the-art code designed to simulate accretion flows into compact objects. A short intro on how to use and run your first simulation with BHAC will be given. Also, recent developments concerning the code within the SPACE CoE will be briefly presented.
FIL: The webinar will be an introduction to the Einstein toolkit (ET) and FIL. FIL is designed to simulate binary neutron star collisions using high order finite difference methods and tabulated EOS. The tutorial will go through how to compile the ET and run some simple benchmarking simulations using FIL.
The participation in the training is free of charge.
Language: English
Level: intermediate, advanced
Tutor/s names: Georgios Doulis and Khalil Pierre (GUF)

A kinetic approach to simulating plasmas using iPic3D
Webinar organised by the SPACE CoE and NCC Czechia and KU LEUVEN, October 1st, 2024, 15.00 – 15.45 CEST, online
The talk is intended for expert in HPC that non-necessarily have a domain-specific knowledge in cosmology and astrophysics
This talk addresses researchers interested in particle-in-cell methods and high-performance computing. We will highlight the pros and cons of the particle-in-cell methods and their applicability in astrophysical environments. This will be followed by a discussion of recent and planned improvements for the iPic3D.
15.00 – 15:30 Code presentation and technical discussion; algorithms, performance, metrics and the road towards exascale.
15.30 – 15:45 Q&A, technical discussion.
The participation in the training is free of charge.
Language: English
Level: intermediate, advanced
Tutor/s names: Fabio Bacchini & Pranab J Deka (KU Leuven)
iPic3D is publicly available: github.com/CmPA/iPic3D

SPACE: The RAMSES code for structure formation in the Universe, October 15, 15:00-15:45 CEST, online
Organiser: CoE SPACE, in collaboration with: NCC Czechia and CNRS-CRAL
The training is addressed to researchers working in the field of fluid dynamics as well as astrophysicists interested in structure formation in general. The speakers will first present the main features of the RAMSE code, as well as its current scalability. They will then highlight the science than can be done with RAMSES using Tier0 resources. Finally, there will be a discussion on the work-plan to improve the performance of the code.
Language: English
Level: intermediate, advanced
Speaker/tutor: Benoît Commerçon, Joakim Rosdahl (CNRS-CRAL)
