Summer School

The exaFOAM Summer School is a three-day event aimed at OpenFOAM users with challenges related to High-Performance Computing (HPC). Both academic and industrial participants are welcome. There are no fees to participate.

We are planning this event as a physical meeting. If the pandemic situation changes, the plan can also change and the participants will be notified.

This is a BYOC (Bring Your Own Cluster) event: we will not provide a common HPC environment, the participants are asked to use their own HPC structure (e.g. laptop) and also bring their own test cases. The test cases do not need to be shared with the instructors, to facilitate the engagement of industrial participants.

The focus is on HPC-related challenges, like scalability and load-balancing, and NOT on problems related to case setup or physics.

When

Oct 17th, 2022 to Oct 19th, 2022

Venue

The exaFOAM Summer School will be held at CINECA: Magnanelli 6/3 street, Casalecchio di Reno (Bologna).

    • The recommended hotel around CINECA is hotel Calzavecchio

    • Otherwise the hotels near the main station, like Hotel BH Bologna De La Gare.
