CoPA Cabana - The Exascale Co-Design Center for Particle Applications Toolkit

Cabana is a performance portable library for particle-based simulations. Applications include, but are not limited to, Molecular Dynamics (MD) with short- and/or long-range interactions; various flavors of Particle-in-Cell (PIC) methods, including use within fluid and solid mechanics and plasma physics; and N-body cosmology simulations. Cabana provides particle data structures, algorithms, and utilities to enable simulations on a variety of platforms including many-core architectures and GPUs.

Cabana is developed as part of the Co-Design Center for Particle Applications (CoPA) within the Exascale Computing Project (ECP) under the U.S. Department of Energy. CoPA is a multi-institutional project with developers from ORNL, LANL, SNL, LLNL, PPNL, and ANL.
