A 100-fold increase in sustained performance over today’s applications running on multi-petaflops supercomputing platforms should be the expected target for Exascale systems deployed early next decade. In this talk we will reflect on what this means in practice and how much these […]

The simulation shown here uses a mesh-based approach (please click on photo to enlarge). Physics simulations for virtual smoke, explosions or water are by now crucial tools for special effects in feature films. Despite their wide spread use, there are central challenges […]
