Announcing projects selected for the second round of the LUMI-G porting program

We are pleased to announce the selected projects for the second round of the LUMI-G Porting Program. This initiative, aimed at helping research groups and companies to port their scientific software to LUMI-G with AMD GPUs, has generated good response from the research community. After a careful evaluation, we have selected five projects from various fields:

• TurboGAP (Molecular Dynamics), CSC – IT Center for Science and Aalto University, Finland
• Vlasiator (Magnetospheric Plasma Simulation), University of Helsinki, Finland
• GENESIS (Molecular Dynamics), RIKEN, Japan
• HMSC (Statistical Modeling in Ecology), University of Jyväskylä, Finland
• SIESTA (Molecular Dynamics / DFT), Institute of High Pressure Physics, Poland

These projects are at the forefront of research in their respective domains, and show promise in benefiting from the computational capabilities of LUMI-G and its AMD GPU-compute architecture.

The LUMI-G Porting Program aims to facilitate the utilization of LUMI’s resources by collaborating with software developers to adapt their tools for the AMD GPU-compute environment. The selected projects will receive substantial support, including 2–6 person-months of assistance from the HPE Center of Excellence for LUMI and the LUMI User Support Team. Additionally, the awardees are expected to contribute a minimum of two person-months of effort themselves, fostering a collaborative and mutually beneficial approach.

We are looking forward to these projects harnessing the power of LUMI-G. Congratulations to the chosen projects.
