On 6 October 2016, our Fusion group member Xavier Sáez visited the Max-Planck-Institut für Plasmaphysik, Garching, Germany, to participate in the meeting of the EUROfusion High Level Support Team (HLST).
Xavier has presented the work developed in the group to improve the performance of SFINCS code. This code is a novel drift-kinetic solver which can be used to predict neoclassical flows in 3D magnetic configurations.
The main purpose of the High Level Support Team (HLST) is to give support to EUROfusion developers of fusion codes on optimising their codes for modern HPC architectures.
