Codes available

• KRONOS,
  KRONOS is a three dimentional cosmological hydrodynamics code based on the combination of the piecewise parabolic method (PPM) to solve the gas dyanmics and a particle-mesh (PM) algorithm to follow the collisionless matter. It reads and writes files using the GC3 data format.
  Runs only on Convex C-series and Cray YMP/C90.
• COSMICS
  Cosmological Initial Conditions and Microwave Anisotropy Codes.
  Runs on most standard platforms.
• Nemo
  NEMO is an extendible Stellar Dynamics Toolbox. It has various programs to create, integrate, analyze and visualize N-body and SPH like systems. In addition there are various tools to operate on images, tables and orbits, including FITS files to export/import to/from other astronomical data reduction packages.
• Visualization Software
  • 4d2, an SGI field and particle renderer.
    4d2 is an interactive visualization tool for time-dependent 3D CFD data containing scalar and vector fields on rectangular grids, and for particle data. The software runs on SGI machines (tested on personal IRIS, 4D/340 VGX, Indy, Indigo2 ). It is easy to use and provides many visualization functions such as contour plots, vector plots, slicing iso-surface extraction, streamline tracing, particle displaying, and volume rendering, as well as a graphical user interface and an animation tool for time-dependent data sets.
  • VFleet Renderer, running on any unix machine. VFleet is a volume renderer, which is a program that produces color images from 3D volumes of data. This program can run either locally or in a distributed mode, meaning that it farms the work out over a network of workstations or a parallel computer. The operation of the user interface is pretty much identical in either case. It is intended for use in computational science, in that it can handle very large datasets representing multiple variables within the same physical system. The rendering modules of VFleet will run on any Unix platform. The user interface requires a Unix platform running Motif. The distributed version requires that PVM is also installed.
