The MFEM (Modular Finite Element Methods) project provides high-order mathematical calculations for large-scale scientific simulations. Held on September 10-11, 2025, the fifth annual MFEM community workshop brought together users and developers for a review of software features and the development roadmap, a showcase of technical talks and applications, student lightning talks, Q&A, and a visualization contest.
Hugh Carson (AWS Center for Quantum Computing) described the Palace solver, a 3D electromagnetics solver built within the AWS Center for Quantum Computing and making use of the MFEM and libCEED projects for efficient large-scale solving. In this talk he introduced Palace, its capabilities, and recent developments.
