to assist with the Containerization of (Computational Fluid Dynamics) Workflows on High-performance Computing Systems (HPC)

for TUM-students within Informatics, Aerospace, Mechanical Engineering, Data Science or similar

Part of good scientific practice, is ensuring reproducibility of conducted research. In this work, the workflow of a CFD simulation from compilation over parallel execution to post-processing is moved into a container-based equivalent. The containered setup is analyzed for practicability and performance on the compute resources pro-vided by the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ), Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC) and High-Performance Computing Center Stuttgart (HLRS).

Tasks
• Familiarization with HPC workflows
• Familiarization with JUWELS supercomputer (possibly also HLRS)
• Familiarization with container software (Apptainer)
• Container setup and performance improvement
• Documentation

Requirements
• Knowledge of Python or C++
• Knowledge of Linux-CL
• Knowledge of GPU computing
• Knowledge of containers (e.g. Docker or Apptainer)
• Experience with HPC-clusters (beneficial)
