About the Event
This project is an interdisciplinary collaborative project with National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and Max Planck Solar Society and the University of Delaware.
The speaker, Prof. Sunita Chandrasekaran will take the audience through the journey of challenges faced and solutions obtained while porting a solar physics code called MURaM (Max Planck University of Chicago Radiative MHD) to large scale heterogeneous systems. The talk will also highlight the usage of OpenACC, a directive-based programming model, for the porting process and how the programming model and the application have evolved over a period of time (3 years).

This is a good time to consider joining SHPCP since members attend all monthly events for free, get copies of presentations and videos (when approved by presenter), and can participate in our annual Technology Meeting in December.
Plus, when we return to live events get free lunch and ability to live stream events.
It more than pays for itself if you attend just 4 events per year.
