On 12th April 2018, 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.
Xavier presented the completed work performed to improve the performance of FELTOR (Full-F ELectromagnetic code in TORoidal geometry), which is both a numerical library and a scientific software package built on top of it.
The High Level Support Team provides support to scientists from all Research Units of the EUROfusion consortium for the development and optimization of codes to be used on supercomputers. It consists of a core team based at the IPP Garching (Max-Planck-Institut für Plasmaphysik) and of high level support staff provided by the other Research Units of EUROfusion.
