yt: A MULTI-CODE ANALYSIS TOOLKIT FOR ASTROPHYSICAL SIMULATION DATA
Open accessAbstract
The analysis of complex multiphysics astrophysical simulations presents a unique and rapidly growing set of challenges: reproducibility, parallelization, and vast increases in data size and complexity chief among them.In order to meet these challenges, and in order to open up new avenues for collaboration between users of multiple simulation platforms, we present yt (available at http://yt.enzotools.org/)an open source, communitydeveloped astrophysical analysis and visualization toolkit.Analysis and visualization with yt are oriented around physically relevant quantities rather than quantities native to astrophysical simulation codes.While originally designed for handling Enzo's structure adaptive mesh refinement data, yt has been extended to work with several different simulation methods and simulation codes including Orion, RAMSES, and FLASH.We report on its methods for reading, handling, and visualizing data, including projections, multivariate volume rendering, multidimensional histograms, halo finding, light cone generation, and topologically connected isocontour identification.Furthermore, we discuss the underlying algorithms yt uses for processing and visualizing data, and its mechanisms for parallelization of analysis tasks.

“…independent verification of results. yt is primarily written in Python7 with several core routines written in C for fast computation. yt heavily utilizes the NumPy library (Oliphant 2007, http://numpy.scipy.org), and is itself a Python module suitable for direct scripting or access as a library.”

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.
