ExCALIBUR-NEPTUNE Showcase
Tuesday 25th February 2025
C7, Culham Campus
Register by 12 noon on Tuesday 18th February 2025
Overview
This is the end-project showcase and workshop of the UK-wide community assembled under project ExCALIBUR-NEPTUNE, whose goal was to work towards a next-generation edge plasma simulation code capable of exploiting forthcoming exascale computing resources.
This event will showcase what has been achieved under project ExCALIBUR-NEPTUNE, will present continuation work and collaborations, and will include the latest information on related future developments and opportunities.
The one-day event will take place on the Culham site – local accommodation can be provided for the preceding night if required. Interested parties are welcome to attend; attendance at the event itself is free.
