25 Oct 12:00 pm 1:00 pmCO Colloquium: SWIFT: A Modern Highly Parallel Gravity and Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics SolverNumerical simulations have become one of the key tools used by theorists in all the fields of astrophysics and cosmology. The development of modern tools that target the largest existing computing systems and exploit state-of-the-art numerical methods and algorithms is thus crucial. In this talk, we introduce the fully open-source highly-parallel, versatile, and modular coupled hydrodynamics, gravity, cosmology, and galaxy-formation code Swift. The software package exploits hybrid task-based parallelism, asynchronous communications, and domain-decomposition algorithms based on balancing the workload, rather than the data, to efficiently exploit modern high-performance computing cluster architectures. Gravity is solved for using a fast-multipole-method, optionally coupled to a particle mesh solver in Fourier space to handle periodic volumes. For gas evolution, multiple modern flavours of Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics are implemented. Swift also evolves neutrinos using a state-of-the-art particle-based method. Two complementary networks of sub-grid models for galaxy formation as well as extensions to simulate planetary physics are also released as part of the code. An extensive set of output options, including snapshots, light-cones, power spectra, and a coupling to structure finders are also included. We describe the overall code architecture, summarize the consistency and accuracy tests that were performed, and demonstrate the excellent weak-scaling performance of the code using a representative cosmological hydrodynamical problem with ≈300 billion particles. The code is released to the community alongside extensive documentation for both users and developers, a large selection of example test problems, and a suite of tools to aid in the analysis of large simulations run with Swift.

30 Oct 12:30 pm 2:00 pmFrom Python to C++ 1/3C++ is a high level programming language that is extremely useful for scientific applications. The language has historically had a bad reputation, but modern C++ is much improved so that your code can be relatively short and elegant. In this workshop we will teach the basics of C++ for people who are familiar with the basics of programming, and we will especially compare and contrast C++ with Python (only the material covered in SCMP142 "Intro to Programming with Python" is required). Knowing multiple programming languages may be a useful skill: while Python is a wonderful programming language, execution speed is often a practical issue for pure Python applications. For applications where this is an issue, coding in C++ can significantly improve performance. As C++ can relatively easily be integrated in a Python project, it is also possible (and common) to code just the bottleneck in that language.Format: Virtual Virtual | SCMP241 - Nov 2023 |

8 Nov 12:00 pm 1:00 pmCO Colloquium: Rarray: Reference-Counted Multidimensional arrays for C++Compared to languages like Fortran and Python, the support for large multidimensional arrays in C++ is quite poor. There are many libraries trying to fill this deficiency, and there is hope at the horizon in the form of the planned C++23 and C++26 standards. But we would rather not wait for these, nor require C++ programmers to learn large frameworks, or worry about performance, when all they need is a multidimensional array. We will look at rarray, a header-only library requiring only a C++11 compliant compiler. This library provides reference-counted multidimensional arrays that are easy to use, work now, are efficient, and can interface with many scientific libraries. Virtual | COCO 8 Nov 2023 |
