Astrophysical Turbulence
Planetary and stellar convective boundary layers Heat transport by convection inside stars Turbulent thermonuclear combustion in supernovae Gas flow in accretion disks Turbulence in the interstellar medium Hot gas in galaxy clusters
Turbulence Fundamentals
Fluid motion becomes increasingly chaotic through non-linear energy transfer Vortices (eddies) develop on a multitude of scales Turbulent dynamics is vortex stretching in three dimensions

DEISA Resources
DEISA Extreme Computing Initiative (DECI): Free CPU-time and porting/optimization support for challenging projects FEARLESS was assigned to the Dutch computing center SARA as an execution site, with the German Leibniz Computing Center (LRZ) managing correspondence and support Jobs were submitted to SARA using the UNICORE client SARA-ASTER machine features:
SGI Altix 3700 with 512 CPUs in four partitions Maximum #CPUs = 126 for MPI programs Linux OS

and getting used to the grid middleware this is not simply a matter of logging into a remote system via ssh.

whether your code works on the target platform, ask your computing center for a similar (local) machine to do the testing on.

Resume
I. Since DECI policy does not allow projects to be extended, and computation resources are fixed, it has proven difficult to complete the development and implementation of novel techniques within the project. II. Ideally, the code used and the problem to be solved computationally should be well understood beforehand, thereby enabling accurate resource estimates in the project proposal. III. Practically, more flexibility in the usage of the DEISA resources for tackling problems at the frontiers of contemporary research would be desirable, i.e. completely virtualized resources. While this is the very point of distributed access to supercomputers, it seems to be quite far off.
