Fluid simulations combine expertise from various research areas including Computer Science. The talk covers the basics of Lagrangian fluid simulations and emphasizes aspects that are particularly interesting from the Computer Science perspective. Various solutions are outlined and applications that range from art to engineering are shown.

In this talk, we will discuss software-based microarchitectural attacks, with a focus on Meltdown and Spectre. We will discuss memory timing and cache attacks. After building our first cache attack we will directly continue with Meltdown and Spectre. The talk will provide a detailed explanation of how these attacks fundamentally work. We will discuss countermeasures to protect against these attacks. Finally, we will discuss how we got into this situation with microarchitectural attacks and what we can learn from this development.
