Reasonable Performance Computing SIG

A community dedicated to the research, development and advocacy of performance best practices for those that work closely with software. We hope to ensure that all code achieves a minimum standard of reasonable performance, whereby all “easy performance wins” have been exhausted.

Case Study: FFEA

FFEA stands for Fluctuating Finite Element Analysis. It is a research software platform used to model biological molecules as they move and flex under thermal effects. The software itself was first released in 2018, building on methods that had been developed and published since 2010.

Since then, FFEA has seen steady adoption in the academic literature, with around 12 published studies using it, including work led by researchers who were not involved in its development. This level of continuity and uptake is relatively successful for specialised scientific software.
