Working Group 5: Computing Core

Leader: Fabio Bacchini

Co-Leader: Philipp Moesta

Research

The Computing Core underpins all scientific activities by developing advanced numerical tools to model extreme plasmas across scales and physical regimes.

Key Scientific Questions

• Can we develop shared computational frameworks incorporating new physics (radiation, QED, gravity)?
• When do microphysical processes affect global plasma dynamics, and vice versa?
• Can advanced numerical methods and machine learning enable improved multi-scale modelling?

Key Objectives / Main Tasks

• Identify baseline physics scenarios and critical numerical needs across the network.
• Develop innovative multi-scale computational approaches, including physics-informed machine learning methods.
• Promote the exchange and integration of tools, including through workshops, hackathons, and collaborative development.
