The elbe team was part of the first European GPU Technology Conference that took place on September 28-29 in Amsterdam, Netherlands. More than 1700 attendees were on site to learn about deep learning, artificial intelligence and high performance computing on graphics processing units. I was one of the featured speakers in the HPC track with my talk about “Number-Crunching on the Desktop for Simulation-Based Design – the Future of Computational Fluid Dynamics”. The talk was recorded and will be available online soon – check http://www.gputechconf.eu for further details.
Busy 2016! After having successfully organized ICMMES-2016, we’re now contributing to this years’ SMM exhibition. SMM is the leading international maritime trade fair and will take place from Sept 6 thru Sept 9 2016, in Hamburg, Germany. Together with other research teams from our host institute, the Institute for Fluid Dynamics and Ship Theory (FDS), we’re going to present recent research results and maritime applications of the elbe code. Feel free to stop by at our joint stand (hall b7, stand 117) for further information or check the official SMM web page.
Die elbe-Messetour geht weiter! Besucht uns am 30. Mai 2016 auf dem Hamburg Innovation Summit, der Plattform für neue Technologien und Innovationen in Hamburg. Wir sind von 10 bis 17 Uhr als Aussteller auf der FutureCandy EXPO zu finden, zusammen mit Infomaterial über elbe und einer spannenden Live-Demo.
Location: ZAL TechCenter in Hamburg-Finkenwerder.

Visit us in Hanover to see elbe in action, to hear interesting talks about GPU computing, or simply to get elbeSTICKERS and elbeFLYERS!
Hall 6, stand L46 – for daily updates, please check the elbe facebook page.
A list of my talks and contributions also can be found on the HANNOVER MESSE webpage.
I’m very proud to announce that we received the “Hamburger KOMPASS 2016” award for our innovative and groundbreaking maritime research at TUHH. The price was awarded on April 7th 2016 during the Hamburger Hafenempfang. We’ll publish more details including more/better pictures from the award ceremony ASAP.
From now on, all elbe-related news will be published directly on our team webpage at TUHH, http://www.tuhh.de/elbe, and on Facebook, see the elbe badge below.
Take care and enjoy reading,

Meine beiden Vorträge im Rahmen des CAE-Forums auf der HANNOVER MESSE 2015 zu den Themen
“Rechnen auf Grafikkarten – die Zukunft im simulationsgestützten Entwurfsprozess?”
“Vorstellung der Ergebnisse der Umfrage ‘Computing’ (CPU, GPU, HPC und Cloud)”
waren ein voller Erfolg. Der erste Talk befasste sich mit Chancen und Herausforderungen des Einsatzes von Grafikkarten im simulationsgestützten Entwurfsprozess und beinhaltete neben einer kritischen Reflexion der Einsetzbarkeit kommerzieller Softwarelösungen auch die Entwicklungskonzepte und Potentiale unseres hauseigenen Software-Prototypen elbe. Im zweiten Talk ging es um die Ergebnisse einer Meinungsumfrage, die u.a. den im Simulationsbereich vorhandenen Bedarf an High Performance Computing adressierte. Im Speziellen wurden mögliche Konzepte zur Deckung dieses Bedarf diskutiert und zwei Lösungen, Cloud Computing oder GPU-gestützte Beschleunigung, gegenübergestellt.

Die von meinem Team untersuchte Geschäftsidee zu “Supercomputing on the Desktop” wurde im Rahmen des TUHH Startup Spirit Praxisprojekts ausgezeichnet.
Auszüge aus dem Newsletter des TUHH Startup Docks:
And the winner is… „Supercomputing on the desktop” von Dr. Christian Janßen (2.v.l.) vom TUHH-Institut für Schifftheorie und Fluiddynamik mit seinem Studententeam (v.l.) Katharina Kharkevitch, Fabian Schwarz, Jan Schekatz und Vincent Mayer.
Beim ersten Durchgang des Startup Spirit-Praxisprojekts setzten sich die Fünf im vergangenen Wintersemester unter 36 Projektteams mit insgesamt 212 teilnehmenden Bacherlorstudenten durch. Hinter ihrer Idee steckt eine Hardware-Software-Kombination, die unter anderem die eigens geschriebene innovative „Elbe-Software“ enthält. Diese ermöglicht Kunden, numerische Simulationen in kurzer Berechnungszeit und zu kostengünstigen Konditionen zu berechnen. Im Rahmen der Vorlesungsreihe „Grundlagen der Betriebswirtschaftslehre“ hatten Bachelorstudierende am TUHH Institute of Entrepreneurship (TIE) die Möglichkeit Geschäftsmodelle für reale Gründer zu entwickeln.
Als weiteres ‚Schmankerl’ für die Studierenden stellt Dr. Christian Janßen die Ergebnisse des Projekts im Rahmen des CAE-Forums, der Kommunikations- und Netzwerk-Plattform für Simulationsexperten, auf der Hannover Messe vor.
Hamburg, Germany — January 8, 2015 — Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH) today announced that it has been named a CUDA® Research Center by NVIDIA, the world leader in visual computing.
The CUDA parallel programming model is an important element of the NVIDIA accelerated computing platform, the leading platform for accelerating data analytics and scientific computing. CUDA enables programmers to achieve dramatic increases in computing performance by harnessing the power of NVIDIA® GPU accelerators.
CUDA Research Centers are institutions that embrace and utilize GPU-accelerated computing across multiple research fields, and are at the forefront of some of the world’s most innovative and important scientific research. Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH) was recognized for its advanced research in computational fluid dynamics at the Institute for Fluid Dynamics and Ship Theory using GPU accelerators. Emphasis is put on Lattice Boltzmann simulations of two-phase flows in conjunction with dynamic overset grids for multiple floating bodies. Applications are primarily marine and ocean engineering oriented, e.g. simulation based early Tsunami warning systems or ice-going ship operations.
Supercomputing on the Desktop offers a new arena for the application of simulation based sciences to a broad range of future challenges, and might have a substantial social and economic impact, says Prof. Garabed Antranikian, President of the TUHH. This designation recognizes the excellence of TUHH at the scientific interplay between engineering, computer science and applied mathematics.
Research is aiming at near real-time simulations and online data exploration using GPU accelerator technology to derive next generation kinetic flow solvers. The vision of the Computational Fluid Dynamics team is to participate in the paradigm shift from traditional mainframes towards office supercomputing.
As a CUDA Research Center, TUHH will have pre-release access to NVIDIA GPU hardware and software, the opportunity to attend exclusive events with key researchers and academics, a designated NVIDIA technical liaison, and access to specialized online and in-person training sessions.
About Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH)
Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH) is one of Germany’s youngest and most successful research driven universities. Plans for a university of technology in the Süderelbe area of Hamburg go back to the 1920s. Fifty years later, in 1978, the Hamburg University of Technology came into being. Now, the TUHH has around 100 professors and 1,150 employees. TUHH is a competitive entrepreneurial university focussing on high-level performance and high quality standards. It is dedicated to the principles of Humboldt (unity of research and education) and aims at excellence at the international level in its strategic engineering research fields.
The CUDA Research Center at TUHH is associated with the Institute for Fluid Dynamics and Ship Theory (FDS) and the CUDA-accelerated flow solver elbe.
