dealiiX Workshop on "Digital Twins of the Human Body"
Contents
Join us for a two-day open workshop focused on the intersection of biomedical modeling and high-performance computing (HPC). Organised as part of the dealiiX project, this event explores the development of scalable computational platforms using the deal.II finite element library. The program covers both the theoretical and practical aspects of simulating complex biological processes, with a specific emphasis on creating high-resolution digital twins of human organs, particularly the human brain. Attendees will learn how to leverage exascale computing capabilities and advanced mathematical models to bridge the gap between computational simulations and clinical practice.
Topics covered include:
Biomedical Modeling Sessions
High-resolution modeling of brain tissue and neurological systems
Coupled multiphysics and multidisciplinary approaches for digital twins
Translating simulation workflows into personalised medicine and clinical diagnostics
High-Performance Computing and Algorithmic Sessions
Node-level resource optimisation and memory bandwidth utilisation
Matrix-free finite element algorithms for exascale computing
Software integration with advanced solver technologies (including MUMPS and PSCToolkit)
Scalability and adaptation of deal.II modules for exascale architectures
Hands-on Tutorials
Generating high-fidelity digital twins within the deal.II framework
Implementing and configuring advanced sparse solvers and preconditioners
Optimizing computational throughput and matrix-free implementations
