Numerical 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 method...

SWIFT: Fast algorithms for multi-resolution SPH on multi-core architectures (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Gonnet, P., Schaller, M., Theuns, T., & Chalk, A. (2013). SWIFT: Fast algorithms for multi-resolution SPH on multi-core architectures.

This paper describes a novel approach to neighbour-finding in Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) simulations with large dynamic range in smoothing length. This approach is based on hierarchical cell decompositions, sorted interactions, and a task-... Read More about SWIFT: Fast algorithms for multi-resolution SPH on multi-core architectures.
