Software

The Institute for Computational Science is developing and maintaining various software. These can be downloaded freely and documentation is available on the corresponding code sites.

PKDGRAV3

PKDGRAV is the world fastest N body code. It uses the fast multipole method, and exploits the MPI library, together with multi-threading and GPGPU acceleration.

GRAFIC++

GRAFIC++ is an MPI-parallel cosmological initial condition generator, that can be used to generate multi-trillion Gaussian random field particle data sets.

SKID and Grasshopper

SKID and Grasshopper are particle-based tools to identifiy density peaks in any N body data sets. It is used to detect bound structures and sub-structures in cosmological simulations.

RAMSES

RAMSES is a general purpose, massively parallel, grid-based N body and hydro code using the Adaptive Mesh Refinement technique. It features magneto-hydrodynamics, radiation transport and various galaxy formation physics modules.

GENGA

GENGA is a GPU based, collisional N body code, used to study planitesimals dyanmics in the solar system.
