What Simulating Entire Cities Taught Me About Our Shared Future: Five Revelations from HiDALGO2’s Clustering Event

Written by Christopher Aguilar of HiDALGO2 Dissemination Leader Future Needs. Today’s global challenges are interconnected, each one shaping the next. Climate change fuels more intense wildfires, rapid urbanisation strains our energy grids and pollutes our air, and the shift to renewables introduces new instabilities. Addressing these overlapping crises in turn requires an approach that is integrated, combining expertise across

New White Paper Helps HPC CoEs Navigate Path to Commercialisation

The path from research to commercialisation is rarely a straight one. Research is, of course, a fundamental driver of innovation. The explosion of AI-enabled products and services that we see today, for instance, was only made possible by the hard work of researchers over decades in computer and linguistics labs across the globe. Conversely, commercial

New Scientific Paper: Prediction model of performance–energy trade-off for CFD codes

When on a long distance car trip, do you prioritise speed or fuel efficiency? For most cars, maximum fuel efficiency is achieved at a speed of between 50-80km/h. Travel any faster and you will consume more fuel to reach your destination. Work with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) codes on high performance computing (HPC) architectures faces

Scaling to new heights: Xyst code excites with unprecedented 196K core run on LUMI supercomputer

In what may prove to be a significant milestone in High Performance Computing (HPC), researchers with HiDALGO2 have demonstrated the potential of a new code called Xyst to run efficiently on almost 200,000 CPU cores in parallel. While further validation is necessary, early results are promising and indicate that Xyst may allow certain complex modelling
