Dr. Zoltán Juhász won 3 NVIDIA RTX 6000 Ada Generation graphics cards to support acceleration of scientific simulations in the NVIDIA Academic Grants Program 2024.
The cards have a computational performance of 91 teraflop/s (teraflop: 10^12 arithmetic operations). The research, carried out jointly with researchers from the HUN-REN Wigner Research Centre for Physics (Dr. Zoltán Donkó and Dr. Péter Hartmann), aims to further reduce the runtime of 1D, 2D and 3D plasma simulation programs by running highly parallel programs on graphics cards. The awarded high-performance hardware devices will allow the further development and performance optimisation of previously developed parallel simulation algorithms, the development of new parallel computing methods, and the execution of simulations at larger scales - up to billions of particles - and considering more physico-chemical processes and interactions.
