Such models (massive stars in particular) share many fundamental aspects in common with geodynamo models. Until recently, stellar dynamo studies that employed pseudospectral methods involving spherical harmonics also faced the same fundamental challenge as geodynamo models; scalability. After describing how this obstacle has been overcome within the last year for the Anelastic Spherical Harmonic code, he will present the essential elements of a scalable pseudo-spectral framework (based on MPI) that CIG is now assembling into a community dynamo model. He will conclude with some thoughts on how this framework may be extended to incorporate GPUs and/or a hybrid OpenMP/MPI approach. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:9.0pt;line-height:18.0pt;background:white'><span style='color:black'>Examples of his work can also be found on CIG’s youtube channel:</span><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:black'> </span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/CIGeodynamics?feature=g-high-u">https://www.youtube.com/user/CIGeodynamics?feature=g-high-u</a><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><pre><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'>You may connect to the meeting through the link provided below or through the home page at geodynamics.org.
