On 20 April 2017, our Fusion group researcher Xavier S\u00e1ez<\/strong> visited the Max-Planck-Institut f\u00fcr Plasmaphysik<\/a><\/strong>, Garching, Germany, to participate in the bi-annual meeting of the EUROfusion High Level Support Team (HLST).<\/p>\n Xavier presented the work developed in the group to improve the performance of SFINCS<\/a> and FELTOR<\/a> codes<\/strong>. SFINCS is a novel drift-kinetic solver which can be used to predict neoclassical flows in 3D magnetic configurations while FELTOR solves 3D full-F gyrofluid model equations with discontinuous Galerkin method.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The High Level Support Team<\/a> (HLST<\/em>)\u00a0 provides support to scientists from all Research Units of the EUROfusion<\/a> consortium<\/strong> for the development and optimization of codes to be used on supercomputers. Such a machine is the \u201cMARCONI\u201d supercomputer hosted by CINECA in Bologna, Italy with a total compute power of about 2 petaflop\/s.<\/p>\n HLST consists of a core team based at the IPP Garching (Max-Planck-Institut f\u00fcr Plasmaphysik)<\/em> and of high level support staff provided by the other Research Units of EUROfusion<\/i>. The HLST members are all HPC experts<\/strong> with a background in developing large scientific applications and particular expertise in numerical algorithms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" On 20 April 2017, our Fusion group researcher Xavier S\u00e1ez visited the Max-Planck-Institut f\u00fcr Plasmaphysik, Garching, Germany, to participate in the bi-annual meeting of the EUROfusion High Level Support Team (HLST).
