DescriptionAn optimisation strategy developed by the Energy
Oriented Centre of Excellence (EoCoE) is presented for
computational models used in a variety of renewable
energy domains. It is found that typical applications in
this comparatively new sector exhibit a huge range of
HPC maturity, from simple parallelization needs to
near-exascale readiness. An essential part of this
process has therefore been the introduction of a
flexible, quantitative performance assessment of
applications using the benchmarking tool JUBE to
automatically extract up to 28 different metrics taken
with several state-of-the-art performance tools. An
initial hands-on workshop to establish this baseline
status is consolidated by follow-up actions by joint
code-teams comprising members of both developer groups
and HPC centres involved with the EoCoE consortium.
Examples of early successes achieved with this policy
are given, together with an outlook on challenges faced
for energy applications with next-generation,
pre-exascale architectures.
