Virtual Astronomy Software Talks

last class of the semester. I didn't get to all the topics I wanted to cover in my Computational Astrophysics class, but for the first time it's been offered, I'm happy with what I wrote up. Notes here:

AST 390: Computational Astrophysics — AST 390: Computational Astrophysics

This week is our next Virtual Astronomy Software Talks (VAST) seminar: https://vast-seminars.github.io

Come hear about two different light curve modeling packages and about experience with Rust in astronomy software.

First scaling results on the OLCF Frontier machine with our Castro hydrodynamics code (https://github.com/amrex-astro/Castro).

This is for an X-ray burst simulation, with hydrodynamics, reactions, and diffusion all offloaded to the GPUs using HIP/ROCm

NEMO builds many binaries (~300) and workflows are built via scripting (bash / python)
initial development goes back to 1986!
