SUMMARY:MS2B - Hardware–Software Co-Design for Trustworthy Digital Twins i
 n Fusion Energy Research
DESCRIPTION:This minisymposium explores how integrated co-design strategie
 s strengthen confidence in computational models for fusion energy. It exam
 ines how GPU-accelerated architectures enhance the reliability and reprodu
 cibility of digital twins for plasma physics. Fusion energy research combi
 nes complex multi-physics phenomena with AI-driven models, requiring conve
 rgence between hardware innovation, software optimization, and scientific 
 validation. The session brings together experts from academia, industry, a
 nd major European programmes to highlight co-design efforts that balance s
 imulation scalability with scientific integrity. Via the contributions of 
 EUROfusion partners (SCITAS and CINECA) and the technology partner NVIDIA,
  this minisymposium will discuss GPU-enabled advances in plasma modelling,
  uncertainty quantification, and digital twin fidelity. The discussion emp
 hasizes verification, validation, and reproducibility as foundational to s
 cientific trust in high-performance fusion research. The session aims to d
 emonstrate concrete co-design pathways from hardware to scientific validat
 ion, establish a reference architecture for trustworthy digital twins appl
 icable beyond fusion, foster collaboration among HPC engineers, domain sci
 entists, and AI experts, and produce actionable guidelines enhancing repro
 ducibility and transparency in co-designed HPC applications.\n\nThe Fusion
  Digital Twin: Integrating Databases, Simulation, AI Surrogates and Visual
 ization for Design Workflows of Fusion Devices\n\nDesigning elements for n
 uclear fusion devices is a challenge at the crossroads of engineering and 
 HPC, requiring data from simulation codes, experimental databases, and eng
 ineering tools. Previous work shows that separate applications of heteroge
 neous software greatly complexify the engineering anal...\n\n\nFlorian Cab

 -------\nBuilding Trust in Fusion Science through Co-Designed HPC Infrastr
 ucture\n\nFusion is regarded as a sustainable and almost infinite source o
 f energy, making it essential for the future energy landscape. Achieving c

 Plasma fusion releases massive amounts of energy, making it an important a
 rea of research for future energy production. However, the experimental de
