Smilei : A collaborative, open-source, multi-purpose particle-in-cell code for plasma simulation
Open accessAbstract
Abstract Smilei is a collaborative, open-source, object-oriented (C++) particle-in-cell code. To benefit from the latest advances in high-performance computing (HPC), Smilei is co-developed by both physicists and HPC experts. The code’s structures, capabilities, parallelization strategy and performances are discussed. Additional modules (e.g. to treat ionization or collisions), benchmarks and physics highlights are also presented. Multi-purpose and evolutive, Smilei is applied today to a wide range of physics studies, from relativistic laser–plasma interaction to astrophysical plasmas. Program summary Program title: Smilei (version 3.2) Program Files doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.17632/gsn4x6mbrg.1 Licensing provisions: This version of the code is distributed under the GNU General Public License v3 Programming language: C++11, Python 2.7 Nature of the problem: The kinetic simulation of plasmas is at the center of various physics studies, from laser–plasma interaction to astrophysics. To address today’s challenges, a versatile simulation tool requires high-performance computing on massively parallel super-computers. Solution method: The Vlasov–Maxwell system describing the self-consistent evolution of a collisionless plasma is solved using the Particle-In-Cell (PIC) method. Additional physics modules allow to account for additional effects such as collisions and/or ionization. A hybrid MPI-OpenMP strategy, based on a patch-based super-decomposition, allows for efficient cache-use, dynamic load balancing and high-performance on massively parallel super-computers.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
