Minisymposium Presentation

SmartSim has always been developed with the goal of overcoming the divide between standard HPC numerical libraries and AI toolkits. SmartSim’s philosophy is based on loose coupling of different applications and processing units involved in a workflow and it is one of the main reasons for its growing success and fast adoption not only in climate and earth science, but also in CFD and other research fields. SmartSim is currently used in several computationally demanding projects and has been run at different scales, from laptops to Frontier, the world’s first exascale system. With the advent of new AI models and innovative ways of including data-driven techniques into simulations, SmartSim is faced with new challenges, which will drive its future development. In this talk, we will show examples of how SmartSim was used in successful projects, and talk about the project’s future steps.
