This workshop will provide a platform for presentations and discussions on advances in numerical simulation for complex multi-scale, multi-physics and coupled problems. The goal of the workshop is to gather researchers (computer scientists, engineers, mathematicians, physicists, chemists, biologists, material sciences etc.) working on different disciplines but all facing challenges in multi-scale and multi-physics as well as coupled simulations on HPC systems. This workshop is the second event in the series; the first was held at HPCAsia 2020, in Fukuoka, Japan.
Applications with different characteristics in parts of the computational domain lead to additional performance issues. The optimum setting for the one part might be contradictory to the optimum for another; the overall optimum might be a non-optimal, but still a good enough compromise for researchers.
Several approaches have been considered while developing different solutions depending on the application and hardware combination. On the application side, monolithic or partitioned approaches have been introduced; on the hardware side, homogeneous and heterogeneous cluster settings. All combinations have advantages and disadvantages, all leading to the question: how to find the optimal configuration and setting of all parameters, with respect to quality of solution vs. computational efficiency.
The basis is – of course – the performance and efficiency of each component (region or solver), but the characteristics of other scales, other physical phenomena might change the game. Also, a coupling tool might introduce, e.g., load imbalances or hinder the overlapping of communication and computation.
The main focus of the workshop will be set on computational issues regarding performance and suitability for high-performance computing. Furthermore the underlying strategies to enable these simulations will be highlighted.
Keeping these aims in mind, contributions from all aspects of engineering applications will be considered. Topics of applications will include (but not be limited to):
- Multi-scale problems
- Multi-physics problems
- Molecular dynamics
- Multi-Domain/Concurrency
- Multi-scale and/or multi-physics modelling for biomedical or biological systems
- Novel approaches to combine different scales and physics models in one problem solution
- Challenging applications in industry and academia, e.g. multiphase flows, fluid-structure interactions, chemical engineering, material science, biophysics, automotive industry, …
- Load balancing
- Adaptivity
- Heterogeneous architectures
- New algorithms for parallel-distributed computing, specific to this topic.
