Tackle the Full Simulation Lifecycle With CMB

The International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage, and Analysis (SC’24) is the premier conference for supercomputing experts where they can discuss the latest developments, technologies, and applications in high-performance computing, networking, storage, and analysis. This conference provides researchers, industry leaders, and practitioners a platform to exchange ideas, share knowledge, and collaborate on cutting-edge advancements.

Building simulation workflows can be complicated. Trying to find and connect different tools to get the results you’re looking for can be inefficient, error-prone and take up valuable resources, including time and money. To make matters worse, sharing and deploying these workflows to fellow engineers, researchers, and academics tend to involve relying on hand written notes and scripts that can be difficult to follow and maintain.

It’s been quite a while since the last release of SMTK and we wanted to start off 2024 with a feature packed release which includes the following improvements: Important SMTK Core Changes The changes in this section have a widespread impact on SMTK. Type Hierarchy Reflection SMTK has long provided introspection functionality for classes such […]

In the beginning, there was chaos. Then there was pkg-config. This was more-or-less adequate for autotools, but it is suboptimal for describing related but separable consumables, and flag soup is semantically lossy. Thus, CMake developed in a different direction, initially creating “find modules”, and later, “exported targets”. The latter in particular is a significant advancement in the state of package information exchange, although it retains some limitations… of which the biggest, by far, is that it’s implemented in CMake script. As a result, only CMake has been able to take advantage of the much richer information provided by exported targets.

The second CMake 3.31 release candidate!

For some time, CMake has recommended using target namespaces for imported targets. This has the advantage of reducing name conflicts while providing an indicator as to what provides various targets. (There is also the advantage, when using the preferred and strongly recommended “::” namespace separator, that CMake enforces the existence of targets with qualified names, rather than silently assuming that an unknown name should be turned into a -l link argument.)

In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, making advanced modeling and simulation tools available on the web is essential for teams that need to collaborate and scale their workflows. But how can you effectively transition these tools to a browser-based environment while ensuring smooth performance and user-friendly interfaces?

Last year, we introduced Catalyst-ADIOS2, a new Catalyst implementation capable to process simulation data on the fly on a dedicated visualization cluster. If you haven’t read it already, we suggest reading that initial blog post before diving into this one. Catalyst-ADIOS2 enables new in situ workflows (named “in transit”) that process simulation outputs without blocking […]
