[ONLINE] SPACE: A Kinetic Approach to Simulating Plasmas Using iPic3D

The webinar is organised by the SPACE CoE and NCC Czechia.

Annotation

This talk addresses researchers interested in particle-in-cell methods and high-performance computing. We will highlight the pros and cons of the particle-in-cell methods and their applicability in astrophysical environments. This will be followed by discussing recent and planned improvements for the iPic3D.
