  • GASPI – Global Address Space Programming Interface

    BMBF-project / Project start / June 01, 2011

    The project GASPI (Global Address Space Programming Interface) addresses a challenge­ in the software industry, known as the “Multicore Challenge”. The aim of the project is to stimulate the development­ of new programming models and programming­ languages that lead to new ways for mathematical modeling, algorithm­s, and their implementation­ in software.

    Combined diffusion and convection of ions through different materials are the foundation of a variety of technically interesting processes, ranging from battery operation via concrete degradation to the use of biomembranes. NPNP is a software for numerical simulation of complex ion migration processes of multiple ion species while observing the coupling of electric field and charges in arbitrary geometries. NPNP is designed for time-dependent problems.

    In the BMBF project “SchmiRmaL” Fraunhofer SCAI uses state-of-the-art molecular modeling to simulate octanol/water and membrane/water partition coefficients. Both properties are important to estimate the toxicity of chemicals. The octanol/water partitioning is a measure how strong a chemical accumulates in biological tissue. The membrane/water partition shows how fast a chemical can enter the biological cell. Since the experiments are not simple to perform because of the extremely low IL concentrations, the simulation represents a realistic alternative both because of its accuracy and its price.

    Cement and cementitious materials are of paramount importance in todays society. In light of their widespread use in the construction of bridges, airport, average homes and countless other keycomponents of modern infrastructure their stability and reliability is of uncomparable significance. With this background in mind it may come as a surprise that many fundamental questions to cement and cementitious materials have not yet been answered by science. The Department of Virtual Material Design of Fraunhofer SCAI supplies tools, which solve some of these open problems.

    Nanoparticles feature exceptional material properties and thus provide a wide range of possible applications in various areas such as lightweight construction, energy and environmental engineering, electronics, medicine and also information and communication technology. Beside carbon or boron-nitride based nanoparticles (Fullerene, CNTs, graphene, BN-NTs) also ceramic and metallic nanoparticles are topic of actual research. In particular such nanoparticles are used as fibers in nanocomposite materials. In the context of design and production of nanomaterials many questions and problems emerge. The Department of Virtual Material Design of Fraunhofer SCAI provides several efficient software tools to tackle these problems.

  • NVIDIA CUDA™ Research Center

    Project start / December 01, 2010

    Fraunhofer SCAI and the Institute for Numerical Simulation at the University of Bonn have officially become one of the first German NVIDIA CUDA Research Centers. In particular at SCAI the goal is to develop a massively parallel, completely multi-GPU based high performance molecular dynamics software packages. To this end, the SCAI software Tremolo-X is adapted.
