Abstract:
Computational modelling is a crucial tool in numerous basic and applied research domains. Running the simulations at unprecedented scales on supercomputer systems represents an important catalyst for improving the performance and maturity of the software. In this paper, we present a conceptual model justifying the use of software scalability as a viable proxy indicator for the maturity of the software and its development process. We also present two approaches – workshop and partnership – that allow supercomputing centres to play a more active role as partners instead of providers during the development and improvement of modelling tools. This is confirmed by the scalability results achieved.
