Session

DescriptionThe quest for fusion as an environmentally benign, virtually inexhaustible energy source has recently taken frontstage thanks to a number of breakthroughs such as a new world record for fusion power or the first demonstration of energetic breakeven. This minisymposium is dedicated to the development and application of new mathematical methods and frameworks to improve the HPC simulation of magnetic fusion plasmas, the talks will cover communications-avoiding DG schemes for the Vlasov equation, using hierarchical matrices for accelerating the simulation of neutral particles, variable precision computing for multi-model applications and the GPU acceleration of a Python based framework for HPC simulation of plasmas.
