Modane: A Design Support Tool for Numerical Simulation Codes

Abstract

The continual increasing power of supercomputers allows numerical simulation codes to take into account more complex physical phenomena. Therefore, physicists and mathematicians have to implement complex algorithms using cutting edge technologies and integrate them in large simulators. The CEA-DAM has been studying for several years the contribution of UML/MDE technologies in its simulators development cycle. The Modane application is one of the results of this work.
