Description
Significant progress in Particle-In-Cell (PIC) simulations has led to fast, user-friendly codes capable of modeling a wide range of physical phenomena. However, due to the complexity of modifying highly optimized, platform-specific PIC codes, the adoption of new algorithms presents difficulties. Simultaneously, researchers proposing novel methods gain little from developing a full-scaled PIC code solely to demonstrate their ideas. To address these limitations, we present π-PIC — a modular PIC framework designed to facilitate the integration, testing, and evaluation of new algorithms and extensions.
