8th Extreme CFD Workshop & Hackathon 27/01-07/02/2025

The 8th edition of the #ECFD was held from Monday January 27, 2025 to Friday February 7, 20025 at the Centre Sportif de Normandie in Houlgate, Normandy. This 12-day event brought together 85 researchers and engineers divided into 44 projects, with the aim of advancing both the physical models integrated into high-performance CFD codes and numerical methodologies to meet the technical and scientific challenges of accelerated supercomputing.

The projects covered :

  • a workshop on 6 different themes (#Combustion, #Multiphase flows, Turbulent flows, Numerical methods, Dynamic mesh adaptation, User experience).
  • a hackathon based on several high-performance codes and platforms: AVBP, ParaDiGM, SONICS and YALES2. The aim was to support application developers in their efforts to upgrade their code to take advantage of GENCI’s hybrid CPU-GPU machines.
  • plenary sessions and on-machine workshops on various topics around high-performance #CFD.

The event was supported by #GENCI, #SAFRAN, #ARIANE GROUP, #ONERA, #GENERAL ELECTRIC VERNOVA and #LEGI (ANR NETHUNS chair), #SIEMENS ENERGY, #CORIA, #IMAG and labex EMC3. For the hackathon, CINES and AMD contributed their knowledge and expertise in porting and optimizing scientific applications.

All participants expressed their willingness to continue their efforts, probably during a 9th edition of the ECFD in early 2026.
