IDEFIX

Idefix is a Godunov MHD finite volume code designed to run on accelerated supercomputers using the C++ Kokkos framework. In this webinar, I will discuss our motivations for creating a new code (in contrast to porting an existing one) and the path we followed. As the code is now public and is becoming more widely used, I will also illustrate the difficulties physicists encounter when using codes of this kind, and how to address them to maximize the transition of our communities to the new generation of accelerated machines.
