The mechanical properties of metal materials largely depend on their intrinsic internal microstructures. To develop engineering with the expected properties, predicting patterns in solidified metals would be indispensable. phase-field simulation is most powerful method known to simulate micro-scale dendritic growth during solidification a binary alloy. evaluate realistic description solidification, however, requires computing large number complex nonlinear terms over fine-grained grid.

Regional weather forecasting demands fast simulation over fine-grained grids, resulting in extremely memory- bottlenecked computation, a difficult problem on conventional supercomputers. Early work accelerating mainstream code WRF using GPUs with their high memory performance, however, resulted only minor speedup due to partial GPU porting of the huge code. Our full CUDA high- resolution prediction model ASUCA is first such one we know date; next-generation, production developed by Japan...
Abstract Grain growth, a competitive growth of crystal grains accompanied by curvature-driven boundary migration, is one the most fundamental phenomena in context metallurgy and other scientific disciplines. However, true picture grain still controversial, even for simplest (or ‘ideal’) case. This problem can be addressed only large-scale numerical simulation. Here, we analyze ideal via ultra-large-scale phase-field simulations on supercomputer elucidating corresponding authentic statistical...
