AMReX: A Performance Portable Software Framework for Adaptive Mesh Refinement Applications
Abstract: AMReX is an open-source high-performance software framework for building massively parallel, performance-portable, block-structured adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) applications on a variety of architectures. Key features of AMReX include AMR, particles, embedded boundary, linear solvers, parallel FFT, and performance portability. AMReX is used by a wide range of multiphysics applications, including many DOE-funded projects, such as multiple ECP-funded and SciDAC-funded efforts, as well as numerous applications in academia and industry. Recently, the AMReX project has joined the High Performance Software Foundation, part of the Linux Foundation, further strengthening its long-term sustainability.
