Saiph, a domain specific language for computational fluid dynamics simulations

Nowadays, High-Performance Computing (HPC) is assuming an increasingly central role in scientific research while computer architectures are becoming more and more hetero-geneous and using different parallel programming models and techniques. Under this scenario, the only way to successfully exploit an HPC system requires that computer and domain scientists work closely towards producing applications to solve domain problems, ensuring productivity and performance at the same time. Facing such purpose, Saiph is a Domain Specific Language designed to ease the task of solving couple and uncouple Partial Differential Equations (PDE’s), with a primary focusing on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) applications. Saiph allows to model complex physical phenomena featured by PDE’s, easing the use of numerical methods and optimizations on different computer architectures to the users
