Albany capabilities

Albany integrates the capabilities of Trilinos to solve a wide variety of multiphysics problems.

• The Albany repository contains over 100 tests and examples that include problems involving heat transfer, fluid dynamics, ice sheet modeling, and others.

• Albany participated in the 2013 and 2014 Argonne Training Programs on Extreme-Scale Computing (ATPESC)

• Albany implements solver methods using template-based generic programming (TBGP)

• Albany was the framework used by the QCAD quantum device modeling project.

• Albany has been used to model the mechanical response of hydrided used nuclear reactor fuel.

• Albany was used to model strongly coupled hydro-mechanical problems involving porous solids.

• Albany is used for ice sheet modeling., and houses the land-ice component of the U.S. Department of Energy's Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM) known as MPAS-Albany Land Ice (MALI).

• Albany demonstrates the use of forward automatic differentiation performed with the Sacado package to compute tangent operators in local constitutive equations.

• Albany has been used for shape optimization.

• Albany has, in the past, combined template based generic programming with automatic differentiation and embedded uncertainty quantification.

• Albany is a capability contributing to the Department of Energy's FASTMath SciDAC Institute

• Albany has begun demonstrating performance on new architectures, including GPUs and heterogeneous systems. This is accomplished through the Kokkos library.
