The 2012 [HPC]3 workshop is focused on bringing together experts in hyperbolic PDE solvers, wave propagation applications, scientific software development, high performance computing, visualization, and Python programming, in order to share knowledge, create software tools, and build new collaborations. The workshop is sponsored in part by KAUST's office of competitive research funding.

The workshop will take place February 4-8. Similar to last year, the first two days will be largely devoted to lectures and tutorials while the final three days will be devoted to project development work in small teams. Participants will collaboratively implement new algorithms, features and functionality in the PyClaw software framework and apply the solvers in PyClaw to a variety of problems of global scientific impact. The projects will be centered around the workshop themes:

Themes

  • Adaptive mesh refinement
  • Visualization of wave propagation simulations
  • Implicit methods in wave propagation
  • Wave propagation methods on GPUs
  • Geophysical wave applications
