This award recognises Dr. Brasser for his exceptional and efficient use of HPC resources across multiple EuroHPC operational systems.
The selection was made by the EuroHPC JU Hosting Entities, which comprise the supercomputing centres that host and operate EuroHPC operational systems. Dr. Brasser was selected based on his recently allocated resources for his project on VEGA in Slovenia, along with several key criteria: his effective utilisation of the GPU partition, demonstrating optimal resource allocation; the implementation of an optimised and unique N-body software solution for modern GPUs, ensuring high efficiency; a solid understanding and application of energy conservation strategies, ensuring accuracy; and his respectful behaviour on the system concerning other users, and their support.
Overall, Dr. Brasser has effectively utilised various EuroHPC partitions through Regular Access calls, including the Vega
GPU, MeluXina GPU in Luxembourg, and Vega CPU, while also securing resources via the Development Access call on Discoverer CPU. All his projects focused on the field of universe sciences, specifically on planet formation in the solar system.
