Currently, Center for Innovative Materials and Architectures (INOMAR) uses computing resources of up to 8 compute nodes on the SuperNode-XP system. Each node requires 48 processor cores using Intel Xeon Phi accelerator cards to support large compute-intensive applications. Running applications are VASP and Quantum Expresso to simulate the structure of nanomaterials and molecules. One of the results from the VASP application on SuperNode-XP is detailed molecular motion simulations as the picture beside.

The leader of the research team is Prof. Joerg Franke and Ph.D. student Pham Ha Thanh. The library being used is OpenFOAM to simulate research projects on gas – environment. Currently supported computing resources up to 96 processor cores, about 128 GB RAM with data storage capacity up to TB. Here is the simulation result.

The representative of the research team is Assoc.Prof.Dr. Nguyen Thong from the Department of Water Resources – Faculty of Civil Engineering – Ho Chi Minh University of Technology and research specialist Dr. Patrick Marchesiello from Research Director at the CARE Center. The libraries and applications running on SuperNode-XP are OpenTelemac and Weather Research Forecasting. The research results are aimed at the process of simulating and predicting floods, saltwater intrusion (the beside feature), shoreline landslides in Ho Chi Minh City, Mekong Delta, Hoi An, etc.
