[ONLINE] SPACE: Presentation of the RAMSES code for structure formation in the Universe

Annotation

The talk is addressed to researchers working in the field of fluid dynamics as well as astrophysicists interested in structure formation in general. We will first present the main features of the RAMSE code, as well as its current scalability. We will then highlight the science that can be done with RAMSES using Tier0 resources. Last, we will discuss our work plan to improve the performance of the code. 

Language

English

Level

Intermediate, advanced; the talk is intended for experts in HPC who do not necessarily have a domain-specific knowledge in cosmology and astrophysics.

Prerequisites

Some experience in HPC and fluid dynamics. 

Technical requirements

Interested researchers can clone the Ramses repository on the public git repository https://bitbucket.org/rteyssie/ramses/src/master/. 

Tutors

Benoît Commerçon and Joakim Rosdahl are researchers at Centre de Recherche Astrophysique de Lyon. They are experts in numerical simulations of structure formation in the Universe, from cosmology to planet formation. They also develop modules for radiative transfer, magnetohydrodynamics and cosmic ray propagation in the RAMSES code.
