In this talk we examine how high performance computing has changed over the last 10-year and look toward the future in terms of trends. These changes have had and will continue to have a major impact on our software. Some of the software and algorithm challenges have already been encountered, such as management of communication and memory hierarchies through a combination of compile--time and...

The exponential growth of computation is very close to an evolutionary step in the way we use HPC extending and expanding the class of problems they can address. The ongoing digital transformation and software containerization are enabling the use of HPC s in most of the fields of human activities. The new digital hyperconnected world need HPC scientists and not just only Data Scientist.

Fincantieri is one of the leading ship design company in the world. In 2014 we deployed a HPC cluster that is mainly used to perform Computational Fluid Dynamics and Finite Element Analysis calculations. We equipped our cluster with a Citrix virtualization solution that allows our users to perform their pre-processing activities directly on a few reserved nodes on the cluster. CFD calculations...

The aim of this work is the development of a computational ecosystem for nearly real-time inversion of high spectral resolution infrared data coming from meteorological satellites. The ecosystem has been developed as nearly real-time demonstration project to elaborate the level 2 products derived from MTG-IRS

Solving realistic, applied problems with the most modern numerical methods introduces many levels of complexity. In particular, one has to think about not just a single method, but a whole collection of algorithms: a single code may utilize fully adaptive, unstructured meshes; nonlinear, globalized solvers; algebraic multigrid and block preconditioners; and do all this on 1,000 processors or...

Whenever a mathematical problem admits a boundary integral representation, it can be straightforwardly discretised by Boundary Element Methods (BEM). In this work, we present an efficient hybrid parallel solver for FSI problems based on collocation BEM.
The major bottlenecks for a serial implementations of BEM is the computational cost and memory requirements needed to respectively assemble...

Life sciences could benefit immensely from the massive growth of HPC processing power occurred in the last ten years. Indeed, complex biological systems are described by sophisticated mathematical models, whose solution requires highly scalable solvers. In particular, for what concerns cardiac electrophysiology, the simulation of the electrical excitation of the heart muscle, and the...

We developed a parallel implementation of the “Density Peak” clustering algorithm, exploiting C++11, OpenMP and the FLANN library for k-nearest-neighbour search. The modified algorithm is approximately 50 times faster than the original version on datasets with half a million points, and scales almost linearly with the dataset size. Thanks to improvements on the density estimation and...

Numerical simulations on supercomputers play an ever more important role in astrophysics. They have become the tool of choice to predict the non-linear outcome of the initial conditions left behind by the Big Bang, providing crucial tests of cosmological theories. However, the problem of galaxy and star formation confronts us with a staggering multi-physics complexity and an enormous dynamic...

This thesis presents two experiences of hybrid programming applied to condensed matter and high energy physics. The two projects differ in various aspects, but both of them aim to analyse the benefits of using accelerated hardware to speedup the calculations in current science-research scenarios.
The first project enables massively parallelism in a simulation of the Anderson localisation...
