Seminar topic: “Practical experience in developing systems for GPU computing and high-performance data processing”
Speaker: Alexander Matyukhin (graduate of the 2026 master’s programme at St. Petersburg State University, majoring in Fundamental Mathematics and Information Technologies)
Abstract:
The talk will present practical experience in developing systems for high-performance computing on graphics accelerators on the example of implemented projects – from a training project on the implementation of the general GPGPU scheme in a Web browser environment (based on WebGPU technology) to a research system whose goal is to optimise calculations in OpenFOAM using GPU resources for the task of creating data centre cooling systems – key architectural solutions and problems of integrating GPU computing into distributed environments will be considered.
The speaker will discuss:
- General experience in the development and integration of GPU-solvers on OpenFOAM environment.
- Interfaces of interaction with GPU: from the platform of the modern Web browser to native cross-platform solutions.
- Architecture of the GPU interaction system via the Vulkan API for effective scientific calculations, the problems that arise and their solutions.
- Containerisation and orchestration of GPU tasks: emerging problems and practical approaches based on Kubernetes.
