[ONLINE] gPLUTO Workshop

This workshop is organised by the SPACE CoE and NCC Czechia.

Annotation

The workshop will showcase the new capabilities and advantages of gPLUTO, the exa-scale ready version of the PLUTO code for computational plasma astrophysics. It is designed for Master’s and Ph.D. students, as well as researchers in the field of astrophysical simulations. Attendees will be introduced to the new code through detailed hands-on sessions and will receive support to migrate existing setups from the legacy version. The workshop aims to guide new users and enhance the skills of current practitioners in using gPLUTO for advanced astrophysical simulations.

Level

Basic, intermediate

Language

English

Prerequisites

Basic knowledge of C, C++. Acquaintance with Linux operating systems. Basic background in plasma physics (MHD).

Technical requirements

Users should have a laptop with a standard C and C++ compiler. Python and make are also necessary for compiling the code. For visualisation, recommend at least one visualisation package such as Gnuplot, PyPLUTO, Visit, Paraview or IDL.

Tutors

A. Mignone is a full professor, developer of the PLUTO code since its inception, and the current group leader. 

M. Bugli is a senior researcher, developing the GR module of gPLUTO.

M. Rossazza and S. Truzzi are postdoctoral researchers primarily responsible for the GPU porting of the code using OpenACC & OpenMP.

V. Berta is a postdoctoral researcher working on magnetic reconnection and actively contributing to code development, particularly high-order methods.

A. Suriano is a Ph.D. student providing active contributions to the particle module of the code.
