Joint SeisSol and ExaHyPE User Workshop, Training and Hackathon

Registration is required. Places are limited.

This two-day event brings together users and developers of SeisSol and ExaHyPE for a combined programme of scientific talks, hands-on training, and a hackathon. It is organised as part of the Geo-INQUIRE installation: SeisSol/ExaHyPE virtual access (VA4-531-1) and transnational access (TA2-531-1).

Parts of the programme may be made available via streaming or recordings.

For the user workshop on June 11, we welcome contributed talks on the usage and development of SeisSol or ExaHyPE, and closely related topics. If you are interested in contributing, please add the title of your talk in the registration form.

The training and hackathon on June 12 address new, potential, and existing users of SeisSol and ExaHyPE. Partly parallel tracks will cover:

• Solving hyperbolic PDE systems with high-order discontinuous Galerkin methods using SeisSol and ExaHyPE
• Earthquake simulations with SeisSol
• ExaHyPE use cases from seismology to relativistic astrophysics
• Performing seismic simulations with SeisSol (hands-on session)
• How to implement your own hyperbolic PDE solver in ExaHyPE (hands-on session)

Experienced users are invited to join the Hackathon session on June 12 to discuss usage, optimisation, and further development.

SeisSol training: Basic Linux user-level skills are sufficient.

ExaHyPE training: Python and C++ skills are required.

Please bring your own laptop. The Friday training sessions are limited to approximately 30 participants. Please specify which training or hackathon you wish to attend in the registration form.

Workshop fee

A contribution of 60€ is requested to cover meals: lunch and social dinner on Thursday, a Bavarian Weißwurstfrühstück on Friday, and coffee breaks.

Accommodation

Please book accommodation individually. Options include hotels in Garching or Ismaning, or in northern Munich along the U6 subway line. The Courtyard by Marriott and Stellaris Apartment Hotel Garching are directly on campus.
