[Dune] News about Dune on Cray XT5

[Oswald Benedikt]

Dear Dune, you may be interest to hear that we have installed our computational electrodynamics code
on the Cray XT5 (Rosa) at the Swiss Center for Scientific Computing in Manno (www.cscs.ch).

We have used ALUGrid as the unstructured grid manager.

So far we have compiled and run our code with 512 cores, but will gradually increase the number
of cores used in order to study how the code scales and works with much more cores. The idea
would be to use 4096 or more on a routine basis.

It is very encouraging to see that Dune almost seamlessly compiles and links on Cray's 
Compute Node Linux (CLE) operating environment.

Thus, we use Dune from the Laptop to the Supercomputer.

Have a great day, Benedikt
