Texascale Days (IMAGE)
Caption
Texascale Days at TACC are a quarterly event lasting two weeks where select projects are given full use of all of the compute nodes of the NSF-funded Frontera, the most powerful academic supercomputer in the U.S. One example are stellar core convection images generated by the team of Paul Woodward, University of Minnesota. His simulation shows passive dye concentration, magnitude of the component of velocity tangent to the sphere, magnitude of the vorticity, and radial component of the velocity for a zoomed-in view of a thin slice through the center of a main sequence star of 25 solar masses at problem time 4,655 hours, when the convective boundary is located at 1,534 megameters.
