Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam Cray HPC award to TARANG
I am happy to share a news that I received Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Cray HPC award for the development of TARANG. The citation reads.. "Development of open-source code TARANG and using it for turbulence simulation at extreme scales”. I thank all contributors to TARANG. I have missed many names in my acceptance speech (given below)… but I thank all of you!! The award is really to the whole team who are scattered at many places.
“Prof. Balakrishnan, Prof. Balaram, Prof. Narasimha, Dr. Di Rose, and members of Cray Computers, I thank you all for the award that means a lot to me and our turbulent group at IIT Kanpur. Many thanks! I will briefly describe about our code TARANG and its history. It is a spectral code for solving fluid flows. Spectral means we use Fourier transforms to resolve a flow at various length scales. This method is very accurate, and hence it is popular choice for weather modellers. Now, how is TARANG unique? There are many kinds of flows—with neutra
