Libraries for explicit vectorization that might be usable for the Alpaka element layer

8

Vectorization is still an open issue (Does it belong in Alpaka at all? How do we enforce it?). I want to use this issue to create a list of libraries...

Interface to scattering simulations

3

How will the interfaces to scattering simulations look like? Specifically, where does the Simex Platform take over from the scattering simulation and vice versa?

Test on various clusters

1

simex_platform should be repeatedly tested in more than one HPC environment during development to avoid unjustified assumptions on the HPC workflow. HZDR can provide access to its HPC resources.

How will the Simex Platform approach numerical and computational challenges in adding photons with phase information?

4

When dealing with Monte Carlo photon sampling of scattering the number of photons and the correct addition of all photons according to their phases is a significant numerical challenge due...

How is the workflow for in-situ scattering in simulations and the Simex Platform

5

How will the Simex Platform deal with large-scale in-situ scattering simulations that require a sizeable HPC System? Will the workflow pass over values via Python in-situ or via file I/O?

Create a standalone ISAAC application that takes openPMD-compliant data as input using the openPMD-API for reading the data. This way any openPMD writer could provide data to ISAAC and streaming...

openPMD backend

Nata is such a great idea. It would be fantastic to have an openPMD backend for nata.
