== About WarpX ==

WarpX is a framework written in C++ to build parallel computational physics software. It is being developed at the [http://www.aa.washington.edu/cfdlab/ Computational Fluid Dynamics Laboratory] at the University of Washington. The software itself is hosted at the [http://www.psicenter.org PSI Center]. You can get access to it is via the subversion repository at the PSI Center. To request the code fill out this [http://psicenter.org/warpx/main.cgi form].

To get the code you will need the [http://subversion.tigris.org/ Subversion] version control client, a good C++ compiler (gcc4.0 or later will do), the [http://www.open-mpi.org/ Message Passing Library] and the [http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF5/ HDF5] serial and parallel libraries. You do not need MPI or parallel HDF5 if you want to compile the code only for serial calculations. You also need [http://www.scons.org Scons] which is the WarpX build system. [http://www.python.org Python] is needed by Scons and also for the post-processing scripts. Instructions for building and compiling are given on the [[Build Instructions]] page.

WarpX is primarily developed to solve hyperbolic conservation laws, specially plasma fluid equations. However, it has several other solvers, in particular, for radiation transport in slabs and for electromagnetic particle-in-cell (EM/PIC) simulations.

The primary authors of the code are Uri Shumlak, Bhuvana Srinivasan, Bob Lilly, Andree Susanto and Ammar Hakim.
