Defense Prep & Paper Edits

Defense Prep

I spent most of this week prepping for my defense: editing my dissertation, presentation, etc.

Paper Revisions

The requested revisions of my paper are pretty much done. I need to investigate using Zenodo and that’s pretty much it.

Strong Scaling Tests

I ran some strong scaling tests on Frontier. I scaled a \( 459^3 \) cell simulation (the largest I could fit on one GPU) from 1 GPU to 4096 GPUs. Typically we wouldn’t go smaller than \( 128^3 \) cells on a single GPU which is roughly at the 64 GPU point on this plot.
