4 applications sustain 1 petaflop on Blue Waters
Jan 29, 2013
Four large-scale science applications (VPIC, PPM, QMCPACK and SPECFEM3DGLOBE) have sustained performance of 1 petaflop or more on the Blue Waters supercomputer, and the Weather Research & Forecasting (WRF) run on Blue Waters is the largest WRF simulation ever documented. These applications are part of the NCSA Blue Waters Sustained Petascale Performance (SPP) suite and represent valid scientific workloads. VPIC VPIC integrates the relativistic Maxwell-Boltzmann system in a linear background medium for multiple particle species, in time with an explicit-implicit mixture of velocity Verlet, leapfrog, Boris rotation and exponential differencing based on a reversible phase-space volume conserving second order Trotter factorization. The Petascale Computing Resource Allocation (PRAC) team led by Homayoun Karimabadi (University of California-San Diego) is using VPIC in for kinetic simulations of magnetic reconnection of high temperature plasmas (H+ and e-).
