2016

GS2 Development Meeting: Oxford, 4 May 2016

This meeting brought together developers and users from the UK, the US and Europe to discuss new physics capabilities and code features in GS2 and to flag possible algorithmic and structural improvements that would be useful.

[https://bitbucket.org/gyrokinetics/wikifiles/raw/master/... Agenda for the day].

New capabilities featured:

Treatment of up-down asymmetric flux surfaces within the local (Miller) framework: Justin Ball

Inclusion of non-Maxwellian equilibrium distribution functions: George Wilkie

Radial profile variation and vpar-mu coordinate representation: Michael Barnes

2014

GS2 Development Meeting: CCFE, 26--27 November 2014

This meeting was to: review substantial recent progress from software development for GS2 and its sister codes TRINITY and GS3; pull together running projects; set priorities for coming months; and minimise the duplication of effort. One major discussion thread was on maximising GS2's scaling performance, which is motivated by the need for more demanding physics simulations. Meeting Summary.

2013

GS2 Development Meeting: Oxford, 17 December 2013

This meeting focussed on discussing Lucian Anton's progress on exploiting “shared memory segments”, and David Dickinson's impressive recent optimisations of GS2's implicit field solve and initialisation routines. Here is a summary.

Presentations:

  1. Optimising the Field Solve Routines in GS2: D Dickinson

GS2 Development Meeting: CCFE, 13 September 2013

This meeting discussed progress since May, mainly on the OpenMP MSc project at EPCC, but also covering gs2's status on BlueJoule, module tests, and the possibility of exploiting SHM. Here is a summary of the presentations and discussion.

Presentations included:

  1. Introduction: C M Roach
  1. Hybrid GS2 using OpenMP: A Jackson

Recent and Planned GS2 Development Projects: Meeting at CCFE, 21st May 2013

This meeting reviewed the current status and plans for various GS2 development projects. Highlights included a number of optimisations that improve GS2's scaling performance, and the new explicit algorithm based on a Discontinuous Galerkin approach. See this summary of the main presentations and discussions.

Presentations:

  1. Introduction: C M Roach
  2. Towards Multiscale Simulations: F van Wyk
  3. Collision Physics Fixes : G Colyer
  4. Single GS2 Restart File and Trinity Load Balancing: H Leggate
  5. Optimised Redistributes, next bottlenecks: A Jackson
  6. Recent Improvements to GS2's Scaling: collisions and v-space integrals: D Dickinson
  7. Status of New Explicit DG algorithm for GS2: P J Knight
  8. Exploiting OpenMP to Improve Scaling Performance: L Anton
