Gregor Weiss contributed to the exasim-project/NeoFOAM repository, focusing on performance and maintainability improvements for a high-performance computational fluid dynamics solver. Over four months, he enhanced both CPU and GPU execution paths by refactoring parallel loops for auto-vectorization, integrating Kokkos for GPU-accelerated Courant number calculations, and improving profiling support. Using C++, CUDA, and CMake, Gregor modernized code organization, introduced robust testing for numerical stability, and streamlined build system reliability by hardening ADIOS2 integration. His work addressed correctness issues, improved debugging, and ensured compatibility with parallel computing frameworks, resulting in faster runtimes, improved code quality, and more maintainable simulation workflows.

April 2025 monthly summary for exasim-project/NeoFOAM focused on stabilizing ADIOS2 integration within CPM.cmake-based builds. Implemented patch caching to avoid redundant patches and ensure correct handling of ADIOS2 dependencies when using the CPM.cmake package manager.

Month: 2025-03 – NeoFOAM performance and maintainability improvements focused on the Courant number calculation for the finite volume solver, along with code quality and test coverage enhancements. Delivered a dedicated Courant number module and a parallelFor-based computation path, including relocation of headers, build adjustments, and type/logging refinements to improve stability and readability. Added a unit test for maximum Courant, introduced clang-format cleanups, and updated the changelog to reflect performance/readability improvements. Reorganized data access, leveraged structured bindings and spans to modernize the codebase, and ensured const-correctness where applicable. Overall, these changes improve numerical stability, run-time performance on large-scale simulations, and long-term maintainability of the solver.
