We study the long-time behavior of the Kahler-Ricci flow on compact Kahler manifolds. We give an almost complete classification of the singularity type of the flow at infinity, depending only on the underlying complex structure. If the manifold is of intermediate Kodaira dimension and has semiample canonical bundle, so that it is fibered by Calabi-Yau varieties, we show that parabolic rescalings around any point on a smooth fiber converge smoothly to a unique limit, which is the product of a Ricci-flat metric on the fiber and of a flat metric on Euclidean space. An analogous result holds for collapsing limits of Ricci-flat Kahler metrics.
