Hello, A yearly allocation for the LCRC cluster has been requested with the following updated information: Submitter/PI: Misun Min Project Name: Electromagnetics Division: MCS Project title: Computational Electromagnetics Associated funding: DOE AMR program and LDRD strategic Other Systems: BG/P (Intrepid) Science: Advanced nanomaterials with SERS (Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering) and particle accelerator physics Project description: This project has focused on development of highly scalable, efficient, and accurate numerical algorithms as an innovative tool to provide optimal geometric configurations for sensing devices at nanoscale and accelerator devices. Our recent research, based on the development of the time-domain electromagnetic solver NekCEM, has shown significant progress in high-performance electromagnetic modeling at the terascale and petascale. The aim of this project is to add a new framework that will increase both computational capability and efficiency of our high-order code. Specifically, the following key capabilities will be designed and implemented: (1) enhancement of geometric flexibility with simplicial elements, (2) development of efficient eigenvalue and frequency-domain solvers, and (3) extension of scalable parallel algorithms to higher processor counts (4) upgrade of communication kernel and parallel I/O. This project includes potential users of 8-10.
