SUMMARY:MS2B - Hardware–Software Co-Design for Trustworthy Digital Twins i
 n Fusion Energy Research
DESCRIPTION:Organizer(s): Gilles Fourestey (EPFL), and Filippo Spiga (NVID
 IA Corporation)\n\nThis minisymposium explores how integrated co-design st
 rategies strengthen confidence in computational models for fusion energy. 
 It examines how GPU-accelerated architectures enhance the reliability and 
 reproducibility of digital twins for plasma physics. Fusion energy researc
 h combines complex multi-physics phenomena with AI-driven models, requirin
 g convergence between hardware innovation, software optimization, and scie
 ntific validation. The session brings together experts from academia, indu
 stry, and major European programmes to highlight co-design efforts that ba
 lance simulation scalability with scientific integrity. Via the contributi
 ons of EUROfusion partners (SCITAS and CINECA) and the technology partner 
 NVIDIA, this minisymposium will discuss GPU-enabled advances in plasma mod
 elling, uncertainty quantification, and digital twin fidelity. The discuss
 ion emphasizes verification, validation, and reproducibility as foundation
 al to scientific trust in high-performance fusion research. The session ai
 ms to demonstrate concrete co-design pathways from hardware to scientific 
 validation, establish a reference architecture for trustworthy digital twi
 ns applicable beyond fusion, foster collaboration among HPC engineers, dom
 ain scientists, and AI experts, and produce actionable guidelines enhancin
 g reproducibility and transparency in co-designed HPC applications.\n\nFro

  intelligence (AI) are transforming how complex, multidisciplinary science
  problems are addressed. Fusion is one of those domains waiting to be disr
