The 13 th edition of the Code of the month series, organized by CASTIEL2, will feature Plasma PEPSC CoE, and Stefano Markidis who will talk about “Advancing Plasma Simulation to Exascale: Computational Features and Scalability of Plasma-PEPSC Codes”.
Abstract: The Plasma-PEPSC Center of Excellence (CoE) focuses on advancing plasma simulations through optimization for exascale computing. This presentation reviews the CoE’s four core simulation codes’ computational features, scalability, and GPU support: BIT1 for plasma-material interaction, GENE for fusion energy, PIConGPU for laser-plasma interaction, and Vlasiator for space physics. Each code employs advanced methodologies to address domain-specific challenges, including particle-in-cell, gyrokinetic, and hybrid-Vlasov approaches. We will examine their performance on modern HPC architectures, highlighting optimization strategies for load balancing, memory usage, and hardware acceleration to achieve efficient and scalable plasma simulations. The presentation will be recorded.
