Descrizione del progetto
Aprire la strada all’adozione industriale del calcolo su esascala
C’è una spinta verso il calcolo su esascala. Immaginate un sistema di calcolo con capacità superiore a un esaflop (circa un miliardo di miliardi di calcoli al secondo). La ricerca nel campo del calcolo su esascala ha mostrato il potenziale dell’integrazione parallela lungo la dimensione temporale come potente paradigma algoritmico. In questo contesto, il progetto TIME-X, finanziato dall’UE, permetterà un’efficiente integrazione parallela lungo la dimensione temporale per applicazioni reali. Il progetto, che riunisce i principali studiosi dell’analisi numerica e della matematica applicata, dell’informatica e dei domini applicativi selezionati, darà il via a uno sforzo di ricerca strategico congiunto. Il suo scopo è quello di far progredire l’integrazione parallela lungo la dimensione temporale da una metodologia accademica/matematica a una tecnologia ampiamente disponibile con una prova di concetto convincente.
Obiettivo
Recent successes have established the potential of parallel-in-time integration as a powerful algorithmic paradigm to unlock the performance of Exascale systems. However, these successes have mainly been achieved in a rather academic setting, without an overarching understanding. TIME-X will take the next leap in the development and deployment of this promising new approach for massively parallel HPC simulation, enabling efficient parallel-in-time integration for real-life applications. We will: ● Provide software for parallel-in-time integration on current and future Exascale HPC architectures, delivering substantial improvements in parallel scaling; ● Develop novel algorithmic concepts for parallel-in-time integration, deepening our mathematical understanding of their convergence behaviour and including advances in multi-scale methodology; ● Demonstrate the impact of parallel-in-time integration, showcasing the potential on problems that, to date, cannot be tackled with full parallel efficiency in three diverse and challenging application fields with high societal impact: weather and climate, medicine and fusion. To realise these ambitious, yet achievable goals, the inherently inter-disciplinary TIME-X Consortium unites top researchers from numerical analysis and applied mathematics, computer science and the selected application domains. Europe is leading research in parallel-in-time integration. TIME-X unites all relevant actors at the European level for the first time in a joint strategic research effort. A strategic investment from the European Commission would enable taking the necessary next step: advancing parallel-in-time integration from an academic/mathematical methodology into a widely available technology with a convincing proof of concept, maintaining European leadership in this rapidly advancing field and paving the way for industrial adoption.
