24. Dedalus: A flexible framework for solving differential equations using spectral methods

Jeff Oishi, Keaton Burns

10/24/18, 9:00 AM

Dedalus is an open-source library for solving partial differential equations using global spectral methods. These methods are well-suited to solving smooth PDEs, such as those describing fluid flows at low Mach-numbers, with very high accuracy. Dedalus is written in Python for ease-of-use and wraps C libraries such as FFTW and MPI for performance on large-scale HPC systems. The code has been...

25. 20 Years of Macromolecular Modeling in Rosetta

Doug Renfrew, Julia Koehler Leman, Vikram Mulligan

10/24/18, 1:00 PM

Rosetta is one of the largest software suites for macromolecular modeling with 3 million lines of code and many state-of-the-art protocols. It is developed by the RosettaCommons, a community of developers from 60 laboratories worldwide. Since the mid 1990’s, Rosetta has been primarily developed in an academic environment by scientists with backgrounds in chemistry, biology, physiology,...

27. TRIQS : a Toolbox for Research in Interacting Quantum Systems.

Olivier Parcollet (CCQ)

10/25/18, 9:00 AM

After a general introduction to the challenges of the quantum many-body problem, and to some directions of research developed at CCQ, I will present the TRIQS project. On the technical side, I will discuss several general topics, including Python/C++ communication, hdf5, modern C++ and the associated tools to increase code quality.

31. The Astropy Project: a community effort to develop a common core package for Astronomy

Adrian Price-Whelan, Kelle Cruz

10/25/18, 2:00 PM

The Astropy Project is a community effort to develop an interoperable ecosystem of open-source tools to enable astronomical research and education from the Python programming language. At its core is the Astropy package, a Python package that provides much of the base functionality needed by researchers and developers of more specialized packages. The Astropy project and package have now...

34. HumanBase: A portal for data-driven predictions of gene function, regulation, and interactions

Aaron Wong, Julien Funk

10/26/18, 9:00 AM

HumanBase (hb.flatironinstitute.org) is a comprehensive resource for biomedical researchers interested in exploring expression, function, regulation and interactions of human genes, particularly in the context of specific tissues/cell-types and human disease. Data-driven integrative analyses underlying HumanBase are especially powerful because they reach beyond existing “biological knowledge”...

37. ITensor

Miles Stoudenmire

10/26/18, 1:30 PM

ITensor is a library for creating high-performance codes for tensor network algorithms. ITensor facilitates rapid prototyping as well as long-term maintainability. After reviewing many-body quantum physics from a tensor mathematics perspective, I will introduce ITensor and what distinguishes it from most other tensor libraries. Then I will discuss good and less good design decisions made...
