Supercomputing For Everyone!

Describes what a supercomputer is and how it operates. A super computer is a computer that operates at or near the peak performance achievable within the constraints of existing technology and available power and cooling. Cost: A leadership scale supercomputer costs ~$1E8! Size: Can require 6,000+ square feet of space! Power: Can require $6-7 million/year to operate Speed: INL's supercomputers can compute in one second what would take a human with a calculator 50 trillion years! Rate of innovation: Today's smart phones are faster than supercomputers in the 1970's!

MPLBM-UT: Multiphase LBM library for permeable media analysis

MPLBM-UT is a specialized lattice-Boltzmann library that makes running single- and two-phase flow simulations in porous media accessible to everyone. We provide a suite of tools to pre-process computational domains for simulation, to set up custom boundary conditions, to run simulations, to post-process simulation outputs, and to visualize simulation results and data. All of these tools are easily accessible to users through the mplbm_utils Python package included in and automatically installed with MPLBM-UT. The high-performance, highly parallel library Palabos is used as the solver backend. MPLBM-UT is easily deployed in a variety of systems, from laptops to supercomputer clusters. MPLBM-UT also features multiple examples and benchmark templates that allow for fast prototyping of different porous media problems. We also provide an interface for reading in different file types and downloading domains from the Digital Rocks Portal to perform simulations.
