Webinars
The goal of this initiative is to provide thematic talks about specific modules (e.g., MUSTANG for sediment, biogeochemistry models available) or key features (e.g., non-hydrostatic capabilities with NBQ, nesting with AGRIF, or output handling with XIOS). The philosophy of these talks is not only to highlight CROCO’s capabilities but also to openly discuss current limitations and constraints. Please note that the technical prerequisites required to follow the talks may vary from session to session.
We aim to schedule 4 to 5 sessions per year (roughly one every two to three months). To keep the format concise and interactive, each session will have a total duration of approximately 45 minutes, including 10 to 20 minutes dedicated to questions and answers.
Next session: A Walkthrough of CROCO on GPUs
Date: Friday, April 10th, 2026 Time: 13:30 (French time)
- Hardware & Setup: A guide to the necessary GPU architectures, the essential development toolkit (NVHPC, OpenACC), and current implementation limits.
- Practical Insights: A step-by-step guide on how to launch and manage simulations on GPUs.
- Performance & Gains: What to realistically expect and which configurations GPUs handle best.
- Problem Solving: A practical look at common runtime hurdles, including tips and “recipes” to resolve them.
- Development Tools: Key utilities for profiling and optimizing your code for accelerated oceanic simulations.
- Future Horizons: An overview of upcoming model improvements and the long-term roadmap for GPU integration.

Users Meetings
Users meeting are held every 2-3 years to gather the CROCO community and foster interactions. They generally encompass some presentations from the core developers about model development updates, keynotes from external speakers, but meetings mostly focus on users contributions! Topics cover any activities with CROCO, projects, applications as well as developments.
