High Performance Computing in Science and Engineering '23: Transactions of the High Performance Computing Center, Stuttgart Hlrs, 2023

This book presents the state-of-the-art in supercomputer simulation. It includes the latest findings from leading researchers using one of Europe’s top systems at the High Performance Computing Center Stuttgart (HLRS) in 2023. A wide variety of topics are discussed from all fields of computational science and engineering, ranging from CFD to computational physics and from chemistry to computer science, with a special emphasis on industrially relevant applications that deliver a high level of sustained performance.

Covering the main methods in high-performance computing, and featuring a wealth of color illustrations and tables of results, the book will be of particular interest to scientists and engineers who seek to achieve the best performance for production codes.

Thomas Ludwig is professor in computer science with a focus on jigh performance computing, high performance storage systems, and energy efficiency in high performance computiing systems. He holds a position at Universität Hamburg since 2009. He is also the director of the German Climate Computing Center (Deutsches Klimarechenzentrum, DKRZ) in Hamburg. The mission of DKRZ is to provide compute power, storage space and service to the German Earth science research community. Thomas Ludwig has authored and co-authored more than 200 publications. He started his scientific carreer in 1988 at Technische Universität München, and was a professor for parallel and distributed systems at Universität Heidelberg from 2001 to 2009.

Peter Bastian is a professor for parallel computing at the Interdisciplinary Center for Scientific Computing of Heidelberg University since 2008. The focus of his work is the numerical solution of partial differential equations, including discretization methods, robust and scalable preconditioners for large sparse linear systems, high-performance computing aspects of these methods and applications in environmental flow problems. He got his education in computer science at University of Erlangen-Nürnberg in the 1980s, obtained his doctoral degree from Heidelberg University in 1994 and held previous professorships at Heidelberg University from 2001 to 2006 and Stuttgart University from 2006 to 2008.

Michael Resch is a professor for High Performance Computing at the University of Stuttgart, the director of the Institute for HPC at the University of Stuttgart and the director of the national High Performance Computing Center Stuttgart (HLRS) at the University of Stuttgart. The focus of his work is on HPC applications and methods as well as on the theory of science of simulation. He got his education in Technical Mathematics from the Technical University of Graz/Austria in the 1980s, obtained his doctoral degree from Stuttgart University in 2001 and held an assistant professorship from the University of Houston, Texas in 2002.
