Abstract

Highly-efficient physical-modeling software for use on large scale supercomputers is very important to the reduction of development costs of the proposed Advanced Exotic Beam Laboratory (AEBL) project at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL). Although massively parallel hardware can provide for rapid and accurate design iteration at high levels of detail, a robust analysis software that can run efficiently on such hardware is lacking. This project will extend the capabilities of an electromagnetic modeling suite to enable electromagnetic-thermal-structural design and optimization on large-scale parallel-processing computers. Commercial Applications and other Benefits as described by the awardee: The new capabilities should dramatically extend the level of detail and accuracy possible in the computer-aided design of complex three-dimensional beam-line structures. As a result, more robust hardware could be developed in less time and with fewer physical prototypes, leading to lower development costs for new accelerators.
