“Pele” is the Exascale Computing Project’s application suite for high-fidelity detailed simulations of turbulent combustion in open and confined domains. The suite of C++-based codes comprises several repositories — PeleC (compressible solvers), PeleLM/LMeX (low-mach flow solvers), PelePhysics (thermodynamics, transport, and chemistry models), and PeleMP (multiphysics models) — that integrate block-structured adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) and cut-cell methods to simulate multifaceted combustion processes. Pele simulations provide the detailed physics and geometrical flexibility to evaluate the design and operational characteristics of clean, efficient, next-generation combustion technologies, including advanced ICEs for automotive, industrial, and aviation applications.
@HPCpodcast: Silicon Photonics – Columbia Prof. Keren Bergman on the Why, How and When of a Technology that Could Transform HPC
Silicon photonics has the potential to transform HPC: it’s a dual-threat interconnect technology that could – if and when it is wrestled into commercial, cost-effective form – move data within chips and systems much faster than conventional, copper-based interconnects while also delivering far greater energy efficiency. Venture-backed start-ups and established tech companies….

NVIDIA Declares ‘iPhone Moment of AI’ at GTC: Announces Raft of AI-related Chips, Systems and Services
Here’s a round-up of announcements delivered today at the opening of the NVIDIA GTC conference.
NVIDIA today announced what it said is a breakthrough that brings accelerated computing to the field of computational lithography that will set the foundation for 2nm chips “just as current production processes are nearing the limits of what physics makes possible,” NVIDIA said.
Running on GPUs, cuLitho delivers a performance boost of up to 40x beyond current lithography — the process of creating patterns on a silicon wafer — accelerating the massive computational workloads that currently consume tens of billions of CPU hours every year. NVIDIA said it enables 500 NVIDIA DGX H100 systems to achieve the work of 40,000 CPU systems, running all parts of the computational lithography process in parallel, helping reduce power needs and potential environmental impact.
