EUFORIA
EUFORIA (EU Fusion fOR Iter Applications) is a project funded by
European Union under the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) which will
provide a comprehensive framework and infrastructure for core and edge
transport and turbulence simulation, linking grid and High Performance
Computing (HPC), to the fusion modelling community.
Scientific Rationale and Main Objectives
The EUFORIA project will enhance the modelling capabilities for ITER
sized plasmas through the adaptation, optimization and integration of
a set of critical applications for edge and core transport modelling
targeting different computing paradigms as needed (serial and parallel
grid computing and HPC). Deployment of both a grid service and a High
Performance Computing services are essential to the project. A novel
aspect is the dynamic coupling and integration of codes and
applications running on a set of heterogeneous platforms into a single
coupled framework through a workflow engine a mechanism needed to
provide the necessary level integration in the physics
applications. This strongly enhances the integrated modelling
capabilities of fusion plasmas and will at the same time provide new
computing infrastructure and tools to the fusion community in general.
