Summary
Sept. 22-25, Georgia Tech will host the 2026 MFEM Community Workshop in Atlanta, bringing scientific-computing users and developers together in person and online to improve open-source simulation software.
The four-day event centers on sharing best practices, software roadmaps and collaboration across computational physics, earth systems, engineering and energy, with a free hybrid tutorial on day one led by LLNL's High Performance Computing Innovation Center.
Nearly 20 scientists from DOE laboratories are set to attend in person, including participants from Lawrence Livermore, Los Alamos, Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory and the Naval Nuclear Laboratory; the UK Atomic Energy Authority is also sponsoring.
MFEM is already used in high-performance applications, including a tsunami early-warning model on El Capitan that ran in a fraction of a second—10 billion times faster than conventional algorithms—and in AWS quantum-hardware design tool Palace.
Registration remains open through Sept. 11, and organizers say the workshop is meant to widen access to advanced computing tools by linking Georgia Tech researchers and students with national-lab, industry and government experts.
What hidden exascale computing advancements will be revealed at the upcoming 2026 MFEM workshop that could reshape virtual prototyping forever?
How did a breakthrough open-source algorithm achieve a 10-billion-fold speedup to revolutionize tsunami early warnings on the world's second-fastest supercomputer?
