The second exaFOAM Summer School is a three-day event aimed 
at OpenFOAM users with challenges related to High-
Performance Computing (HPC). Both academic and industrial 
participants are welcome.

This is a physical meeting to be held in HLRS, Stuttgart 
(Germany). There will be a small fee to cover the coffee and 
lunch breaks.

This is a BYOC (Bring Your Own Cluster) event: we will not 
provide a common HPC environment, the participants are asked 
to use their own HPC structure (e.g. laptop) and also bring 
their own test cases. The test cases do not need to be 
shared with the instructors, to facilitate the engagement of 
industrial participants.

The focus is on HPC-related challenges, like scalability and 
load-balancing, and NOT on problems related to case setup or 
physics.

There are a limited number of 25 participants. If you are 
interested, please visit https://exafoam.eu/2nd-summer-
school/.  The submission deadline is on August 4th. The 
exaFOAM team will analyse all entries and select the 
participants, aiming at a balance between academic and 
industrial users and a mostly broad spectrum of 
applications. We will notify the selected participants on 
August 11th.
