AMUSE

From Micasim

AMUSE is the evolution of MUSE. It's a software framework designed to make it easy and transparent to integrate different modeling packages (N-body, hydro, radiative transfer, stellar evolution, including multiple versions of each), so that you can run a simulation that takes into account these various different factors all operating on different timescales.

Usage Tutorials

Workshops and Meetings

AMUSE will frequently be the topic of discussion at the Second Life Workshops.

gotchas

• If you're on a laptop and using something with MPI, the daemon mpd is going to use your hostname as the place to run stuff. However, if you have your hostname in /etc/hosts to be something that's not currently accessible (because your laptop isn't in its "home" location), then MPI stuff won't run. Solve this by making sure your hostname is listed on the line with 127.0.0.1 and localhost in /etc/hosts.
