Hello,
A change in allocation has been requested:
Requester: bair (Ray Bair)
Project: NuclearBurn
Title: Buoyancy-Driven Turbulent Nuclear Burning
Description: This project carries out high-resolution 2D studies of the how buoyancy instabilities enhance flame surface and burning rate for thermonuclear flames. These studies compliment the 3D studies being performed elsewhere.
The Center for Astrophysical Thermonuclear Flashes (the "Flash Center") has developed FLASH, a highly capable, fully modular, extensible, community code that is widely used in astrophysics, cosmology, fluid dynamics, plasma physics, and other fields. FLASH has demonstrated good scaling on the largest systems. For the larger 3D simulations in this LDRD project, the FLASH computations scale to the entire Intrepid system. For the 2D simulations and test 3D problems we plan on Fusion,
Current: undetermined amount
Justification: For example, in strong scaling runs, the execution time of FLASH benchmark runs varies less than 7% from 128 to 16384 processors.
Requested: 300000
A specific reason has been given:
We used about 90K hours in 6 months of FY2010, and projecting to FY2011 our runs should take about 300K hours.
This needs to be approved and the final allocation amount decided upon.
Thank You,
The LCRC Accounts System
