Radiation transportwith lightsabers Axel Brandenburg (Nordita, Stockholm)
PencilCode • Started in Sept. 2001 with Wolfgang Dobler • High order (6th order in space, 3rd order in time) • Cache & memory efficient • MPI, can run PacxMPI (across countries!) • Maintained/developed by ~40 people (SVN) • Automatic validation (over night or any time) • Max resolution so far 10243 , 256 procs • Isotropic turbulence • MHD, passive scl, CR • Stratified layers • Convection, radiation • Shearing box • MRI, dust, interstellar • Self-gravity • Sphere embedded in box • Fully convective stars • geodynamo • Other applications • Homochirality • Spherical coordinates
