• D8.1 (WP8): Data Management Plan

  J. García-Espinosa, C. Soriano

  prodPhD OA (2022). 4

  
  

  Abstract

  This document presents the deliverable D8.1 – the Data Management Plan (DMP) of work package 8 of the prodPhD project. It aims to present the plan for the management, generation, collection, security, preservation and sharing of data generated through the prodPhD project. The DMP is a key element for organizing the project’s data. It provides an analysis of the data, which will be collected, processed and published by the prodPhD consortium. The project embraces the initiatives of the European Commission to promote the open access to research data, aiming to improve and maximize access to and reuse of research data generated by Horizon 2020 projects. In this sense prodPhD will adhere to the Open Research Data Pilot (ORD Pilot) fostered by the European Commission, and this DMP will be developed following the standards of data storage, access and management. This plan will detail what data will be generated through the project, whether and how it will be made accessible for the verification and reuse and how it will be curated and preserved. In this context, the term data applies to the information generated during the different experimental campaigns carried out in the project, and specifically to the data, including associated metadata, to be used to validate the computational models and the technical solutions to be developed in the project. This document is the first version of the DMP and may be updated throughout the project, if significant changes (new data, changes in consortium policies, changes in consortium composition, etc.) arise.

• D7.3 Report on UQ results and overall user experience

  S. Bidier, U. Khristenko, R. Tosi, R. Rossi, C. Soriano

  Open Access Repository of the ExaQUte project: Deliverables (2022). 13

  
  

  Abstract

  This deliverable report focuses on the main Uncertainty Quanti cation (UQ) results obtained within the EXAscale Quanti cation of Uncertainties for Technology and Science Simulation (ExaQUte) project. Details on the turbulent wind inlet generator, that enables the supply of random, yet steady, wind velocity boundary conditions during run-time, are given in section 2. This enables the developed UQ workflow, whose results are presented on the basis of the Commonwealth Advisory Aeronautical Council (CAARC) as described in Deliverable 7.1. Finally, the completed UQ workflow and the results are evaluated from an application-driven wind engineering point of view. Thereby, the significance of the developed methods and the obtained results are discussed and their applicability in practical wind-engineering applications is tested through a complete test-run of the UQ workflow.

• D4.4 API and runtime (complete with documentation and basic unit testing) for IO employing fast local storage

  R. Badia, J. Ejarque, S. Böhm, C. Soriano, R. Rossi

  Open Access Repository of the ExaQUte project: Deliverables (2021). 12

  
  

  Abstract

  This deliverable presents the activities performed on the ExaQUte project task 4.5 Development of interface to fast local storage. The activities have been focused in two aspects: reduction of the storage space used by applications and design and implementation of an interface that optimizes the use of fast local storage by MPI simulations involved in the project applications. In the rst case, for one of the environments involved in the project (PyCOMPSs) the default behavior is to keep all intermediate les until the end of the execution, in case these les are reused later by any additional task. In the case of the other environment (HyperLoom), all les are deleted by default. To unify these two behaviours, the calls \delete object" and \detele le"have been added to the API and a  ag \keep" that can be set to true to keep the les and objects that maybe needed later on. We are reporting results on the optimization of the storage needed by a small case of the project application that reduces the storage needed from 25GB to 350MB. The second focus has been on the de nition of an interface that enables the optimization of the use of local storage disk. This optimization focuses on MPI simulations that may be executed across multiple nodes. The added annotation enables to de ne access patters of the processes in the MPI simulations, with the objective of giving hints to the runtime of where to allocate the di erent MPI processes and reduce the data transfers, as well as the storage usage.

• D6.3 Report on stochastic optimisation for simple problems

  Q. Ayoul-Guilmard, S. Ganesh, F. Nobile, R. Rossi, C. Soriano

  Open Access Repository of the ExaQUte project: Deliverables (2021). 11

  
  

  Abstract

  This report addresses the general matter of optimisation under uncertainties, following a previous report on stochastic sensitivities (deliverable 6.2). It describes several theoretical methods, as well their application into implementable algorithms. The specific case of the conditional value at risk chosen as risk measure, with its challenges, is prominently discussed. In particular, the issue of smoothness – or lack thereof – is addressed through several possible approaches. The whole report is written in the context of high-performance computing, with concern for parallelisation and cost-efficiency.

• D5.3 Report on theoretical work to allow the use of MLMC with adaptive mesh refinement

  Q. Ayoul-Guilmard, S. Ganesh, M. Nuñez, R. Tosi, F. Nobile, R. Rossi, C. Soriano

  Open Access Repository of the ExaQUte project: Deliverables (2021). 10

  
  

  Abstract

  This documents describes several studies undertaken to assess the applicability of MultiLevel Monte Carlo (MLMC) methods to problems of interest; namely in turbulent fluid flow over civil engineering structures. Several numerical experiments are presented wherein the convergence of quantities of interest with mesh parameters are studied at different Reynolds’ numbers and geometries. It was found that MLMC methods could be used successfully for low Reynolds’ number flows when combined with appropriate Adaptive Mesh Refinement (AMR) strategies. However, the hypotheses for optimal MLMC performance were found to not be satisfied at higher turbulent Reynolds’ numbers despite the use of AMR strategies. Recommendations are made for future research directions based on these studies. A tentative outline for an MLMC algorithm with adapted meshes is made, as well as recommendations for alternatives to MLMC methods for cases where the underlying assumptions for optimal MLMC performance are not satisfied.

• D6.4 Report on stochastic optimisation for unsteady problems

  Q. Ayoul-Guilmard, F. Nobile, S. Ganesh, M. Nuñez, A. Kodakkal, R. Rossi, C. Soriano

  Open Access Repository of the ExaQUte project: Deliverables (2021). 9

  
  

  Abstract

  This report brings together methodological research on stochastic optimisation and work on benchmark and target applications of the ExaQute project, with a focus on unsteady problems. A practical, general method for the optimisation of the conditional value at risk is proposed. Three different optimisation problems are described: an oscillator problem selected as a suitable trial and illustration case; the shape optimisation of an airfoil, chosen as a benchmark application in the project; the shape optimisation of a tall building, which is the challenging target application set for ExaQUte. For each problem, the current developments and results are presented, the application of the proposed method is discussed, and the work to be done until the end of the project is laid out.

• D3.2 Report on parallel in time methods and release of the solvers

  M. Caicedo, J. Principe, R. Codina, R. Rossi, C. Soriano

  Open Access Repository of the ExaQUte project: Deliverables (2021). 8

  
  

  Abstract

  In this deliverable we provide the details related to the design, implementation, and scalability analysis of Space Time Balancing Domain Decomposition by Constraints (STBDDC) preconditioners that have been implemented in the FEMPAR project [8]. First, we describe the state of the art of space-time methods in Sect. 2 and we then provide some details of our particular implementation in Sect. 3. Next, in Sect. 4, we present a detailed description of the numerical experiments performed during the project showing the excellent scalability results that these algorithms permit to achieve. At the same time, we show the limitations of these algorithms when dealing with nonlinear problems. Finally we draw some concluding remarks in Sect. 5.

• D5.4 Report on MLMC for time dependent problems

  Q. Ayoul-Guilmard, S. Ganesh, M. Nuñez, R. Tosi, F. Nobile, R. Rossi, C. Soriano

  Open Access Repository of the ExaQUte project: Deliverables (2021). 7

  
  

  Abstract

  In this report, we study the use of Multi-Level Monte Carlo (MLMC) methods for time dependent problems. It was found that the usability of MLMC methods depends strongly on whether or not the underlying time dependent problem is chaotic in nature. Numerical experiments are conducted on both simple problems, as well as fluid flow problems of practical interest to the ExaQUte project, to demonstrate this. For the non-chaotic cases, the hypotheses that enable the use of MLMC methods were found to be satisfied. For the chaotic cases, especially the case of high Reynolds’ number fluid flow, the hypotheses were not satisfied. However, it was found that correlations between the different levels were high enough to merit the use of multi-fidelity or control-variate approaches. It was also noted that MLMC methods could work for chaotic problems if the time window of analysis were chosen to be small enough. Future studies are proposed to examine this possibility.

• D7.2 Finalization of "deterministic" verification and validation tests

  A. Apostolatos, R. Rossi, C. Soriano

  Open Access Repository of the ExaQUte project: Deliverables (2021). 6

  
  

  Abstract

  This deliverable focus on the verification and validation of the solvers of Kratos Multiphysics which are used within ExaQUte. These solvers comprise standard body-fitted approaches and novel embedded approaches for the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations carried out within ExaQUte. Firstly, the standard body-fitted CFD solver is validated on a benchmark problem of high rise building - CAARC benchmark and subsequently the novel embedded CFD solver is verified against the solution of the body-fitted solver. Especially for the novel embedded approach, a workflow is presented on which the exact parameterized Computer-Aided Design (CAD) model is used in an efficient manner for the underlying CFD simulations. It includes: A note on the space-time methods Verification results for the body-fitted solver based on the CAARC benchmark Workflow consisting of importing an exact CAD model, tessellating it and performing embedded CFD on it Verification results for the embedded solver based on a high-rise building API definition and usage
