Achieving Petaflops Level Parallelism for Simulation-Based Engineering Problems in Fluid Dynamics

该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。该项目将通过使用时空并行算法和有效的并行设计优化策略，探索在有限空间分辨率下为计算要求高的问题提取增加并行性的方法。为了实现特定工程目标的仿真和优化能力，还将在千万亿级上进行伴随方法的制定和实施。对于风能应用，这将导致对失效机制的更好理解，以及更有效的设计能力。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).The project will explore methodologies for extracting increased parallelism for computationally demanding problems with limited spatial resolution, through the use of space-time parallel algorithms, and efficient parallel design-optimization strategies. The formulation and implementation of adjoint methods at the petascale will also be pursued in order to enable specific engineering-objective focused simulation and optimization capabilities. For wind energy applications, this will result in a better understanding of failure mechanisms, and more effective design capabilities.
