About the meeting
The Pencil Code User Meeting is an annual meeting dedicated to the Pencil Code.
The purpose of the meeting is to bring regular users and core
developers together to discuss scientific and technical progress since
the last meeting, to instigate collaborative projects and to allow new
users to learn more about the code and to interact with other users and
developers.
The Pencil Code Meeting 2010 will be held July 26-30 2010 at the
American Museum of Natural History
(AMNH) in Manhattan.
About the Pencil Code
The Pencil Code
is a multipurpose code for massively parallel computing.
It includes optionally hydrodynamics, magnetic fields, radiation,
ionization, multi-species dust dynamics with coagulation, self-gravity
and particles. It is developed and maintained under Subversion (SVN) by
around 25 people with check-in permission and has been downloaded by
around 500 registered users (without check-in permission).
The code is tested nightly on several platforms and provides an
excellent pedagogical tool for professional scientists as well as
students to implement new code within an organized framework.
Topics
Here are some example topics that the meeting aims at covering:
- Recent science results obtained with the Pencil Code
- Physics recently added to the code, such as particle collisions
- Recently added visualization techniques, such as on-the-fly 3D rendering and spherical slices
- Technical issues
- Future improvements to the code
- ...
