OP DSL - Projects

This page lists a number of ongoing and potential future projects

Ongoing projects

• Tri-(and multi-) diagonal solver development and integration to OPS
• New code-gen system with Clang/libtooling/MLIR
• Adaptive Mesh Refinement in OPS
• Coupling different parallel software (e.g. sparse linear solver, FFT)
• Multi-material data structures

Future features and projects

• Visualisation
  Type: new core feature
  Difficulty: medium
  Description: visually analysing the results of the simulation is key for scientific insight. This can be done either off-line, once the simulation finished, or on-line as the simulation is progressing. This project involves understanding the VTK format and data structures, and implementing support for writing datasets to file for off-line visualisation, followed by doing this on-line using the Catalyst framework


• Conversion tool for Fortran
  Type: compilers
  Difficulty: hard
  Description: converting legacy applications to use the OPS and OP2 APIs is relatively straightforward for most codes, but is still a very manual process. This project will look into using Flang to analyse simple tightly nested loops and determine access patterns, then outline the loop body and replace it with a call to OPS or OP2.
