Oct 1, 2025October 2025 concentrated on delivering tangible performance gains, increasing reliability, and strengthening maintainability across SeisSol/SeisSol. Key features include buffer transfer optimization with IO enhancements that reduce memory copies and ghost cell traffic, improving throughput for large-scale simulations, and a set of correctness fixes around output mappings and ghost-layer connectivity to ensure consistent results. Build and workflow stability were advanced with ACPP/CUDA compatibility fixes and clang-tidy/pre-commit improvements, reducing integration risk and smoothing CI. Documentation and dependency updates (Yateto, PUML) alongside naming cleanups (eta hack to damp) improved clarity and alignment with downstream tooling. Together with targeted bug fixes (meshToLts ghost layers, post-exit deallocation, multicolor transfers) and responsiveness to code reviews, the work delivers higher runtime efficiency, safer resource management, and stronger developer velocity for ongoing scientific workloads.

Key progress includes TensorForge integration with separated CPU/GPU device codegen backends, build-system modernization with Python loaded via CMake, improved logging and FLOP/NZ-FLOP reporting, and broader GPU backend support with fixes to GPU code generation and parallelism. These changes reduce build friction, improve portability, and enhance performance visibility across CPU and GPU simulations, while advancing testability and CI reliability.

Dec 1, 2024Monthly summary for 2024-12: focus on hardening CI, expanding data compatibility, and improving code quality across the SeisSol project. Key features delivered include CI-based linting and optional RST checks for Markdown/reStructuredText (with toggle to disable RST checks) and ASAGI reader integration for reading ASAGI data sources. Major bugs fixed encompass security fixes addressing the first security error and other severe issues, as well as data handling fixes related to empty rank writes. Additional maintenance delivered licensing hardening with SPDX tagging, post-merge header/script corrections, and widespread code quality improvements (linting, formatting, and submodule maintenance). The work collectively improves reliability, security, and data interoperability while reducing risk and onboarding friction for contributors.

Nov 1, 2024Monthly performance summary for 2024-11 (SeisSol/SeisSol): Delivered a comprehensive time-dependent refactor to enhance time stepping fidelity and flexibility across simulations. Implemented an NVHPC OMP avoidance toggle to improve compatibility with newer NVHPC versions, reducing build issues and preserving performance. Undertook extensive codebase modernization including material definitions refactor, model-folder tidying, and the addition of a Blackwell component, along with widespread tidy/format improvements to boost maintainability. Strengthened local cluster support by adding the full halo and ensuring contiguous cluster arrays, together with halo robustness improvements and error handling enhancements. CI/test infrastructure optimization now runs tests only in the main repository, cutting redundant runs and speeding feedback. Operationally, disabled self-hosted runs to simplify pipelines and focus on stable release workflows.
