DescriptionComputer simulations are being used to predict the weather and climate change, model refugees, understand materials, develop nuclear fusion, and inform medical decisions. But if we are to use simulations in order to makes predictions on the global climate emergency, guide aid to migrants fleeing combat, create new materials, help invent the first fusion reactor, and allow doctors to test medication on a virtual you (before the real you), then those simulations need to be reliable. In other words, they need to be validated, verified, and their uncertainty quantified, so that they can feed into real life applications and decisions. The purpose of the VECMA project is to enable a diverse set of multiscale, multiphysics applications to run on current multi-petascale computers and emerging exascale environments with high fidelity such that their output is “actionable”. That is, the calculations and simulations are certifiable as validated (V), verified (V) and equipped with uncertainty quantification (UQ) by tight error bars such that they may be relied upon for making important decisions in all the domains of concern. The central deliverable is the VECMA toolkit (VECMAtk), an open source toolkit for multiscale VVUQ based on generic multiscale VV and UQ primitives, to be released in stages over the lifetime of this project and made widely available in European HPC centres. We present in this poster the early results of the VECMAtk scalability study as a basis for future optimizations allowing an efficient use at large scale.
