Annotation
The workshop will showcase the new capabilities and advantages of gPLUTO, the exa-scale ready version of the PLUTO code for computational plasma astrophysics. It is designed for master’s and Ph.D. students, as well as researchers in the field of astrophysical simulations. Attendees will be introduced to the new code through detailed hands-on sessions and will receive support to migrate existing setups from the legacy version. The workshop aims to guide new users and enhance the skills of current practitioners in using gPLUTO for advanced astrophysical simulations
Technical requirements
Users should have a laptop with a standard C and C++ compiler. Python and make are also necessary for compiling the code. For visualisation, recommend at least one visualisation package such as Gnuplot, PyPLUTO, Visit, Paraview or IDL.
