LANL Co-Design Summer School
LANL Co-Design Summer School
The Los Alamos National Laboratory Co-Design Summer School was created to train future scientists to work on the kinds of interdisciplinary teams that are demanded by today's scientific challenges. Launched in 2011, the summer school recruits top candidates in a range of fields spanning domain sciences, applied mathematics, computational and computer sciences, and computer architecture. Participants work together to solve a focused problem that is designed to build the skills needed to tackle the grand challenges of the future. Foremost among the skills on which we focus is the ability of students to work across disciplines with other team members, while employing their own unique expertise. This is the heart of Co-Design.
The project of the CDSS 2025 will be to work on a radiation-hydrodynamics code based on FleCSI-HARD to simulate Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) like simulations. This application will be run at scale on the NVIDIA superchip, Grace-Hopper, featured in the supercomputer Venado at LANL. The computer scientists, applied mathematicians and physicists will work together in a Co-Design manner to add needed features to FleCSI-HARD code develop during the CDSS 2024. The FleCSI application, base for this development, features several topologies and backends to run the application at scale using task-based parallelism.
We are particularly interested in graduate students near the end of their Master's program and Ph.D. students.
The following skills would make the student outstanding:
Computer Scientists: HPC, Kokkos/CUDA/HIP, MPI.
Applied Mathematicians: Iterative and Multigrid Methods. Preconditioners.
Physicists: Hydrodynamics, Radiative Transfer (diffusion, multigroup, etc), Shock Physics.
