Feeding a Large-scale Physics Application to Python
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe our experiences using Python with the SPaSM molecular dynamics code at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Originally developed as a large monolithic application for massively parallel processing systems, we have used Python to transform our application into a flexible, highly modular, and extremely powerful system for performing simulation, data analysis, and visualization. In addition, we describe how Python has solved a number of important problems related to the development, debugging, deployment, and maintenance of scientific software.

InRaDoS: An internal radiation dosimetry computer program
Introduction: Internal radiation dosimetry is important from a radiation protection point of view and can help to optimize the radiation dose delivered to the workers, public, and patients. It has a rather simple protocol but needs a large amount of data. Therefore, it is difficult to do on a routine basis. The use of computer programs makes internal radiation dosimetry simpler...
متن کاملPySparse and PyFemax: A Python framework for large scale sparse linear algebra
In scientific computing, software is traditionally developed using compiled languages like Fortran or C for maximal performance. However, for most applications, the time-critical portion of the code that requires the efficiency of a compiled language, is confined to a small set of well-defined functions. Implementing the remaining part of the application using an interactive and interpreted hig...
متن کاملThe braneworld stability and large-scale correction in graphene like background
In this work, we consider a graphene-like background in braneworld scenario which is one of the interesting models in cosmology and theoretical physics. Indeed, this paper is an application of holography in condense matter. We use the geometric form of potential which help to obtain field equations and solve it to obtain the energy spectrum. In that case we calculate superpotential and energy d...

We present the SimCore parallel simulation library, an object-oriented framework for developing parallel distributed discrete-event simulation applications, implemented in C++ with a Python front-end. SimCore is designed to scale to thousands of processors but is simple enough to use for application programmers, an outcome of its fast C++ core and message passing routines integrated with the fu...

Recently, a large set of electroencephalography (EEG) data is being generated by several high-quality labs worldwide and is free to be used by all researchers in the world. On the other hand, many neuroscience researchers need these data to study different neural disorders for better diagnosis and evaluating the treatment. However, some format adaptation and pre-processing are necessary before ...
