NEMO: Other Software

• TIPSY , an interactive X-windows based display package maintained by Neal Katz and Tom Quinn. Their HPCC project also maintains a software archive. In some NEMO versions you may find a TIPSY copy in $NEMO/usr/tipsy (differences from the official release can be found in our anonymous ftp ).
• STARLAB ; Piet Hut, Steve McMillan and Jun Makino; you may find a local copy in $NEMO/usr/starlab .
• Nora , an interactive PGPLOT based analysis and display package built by Marc Balcells ( University of Groningen ). Is not publically available yet.
• An anonymous ftp directory tree maintained by Josh Barnes. A WWW server is expected some time soon.
• Richard Gerber's Codes: gobs and gobs of computer code freely made available.
• Hugh Couchman's home page. His adaptive P3M code (A3PM) is also available with a NEMO frontend in (pstart, prun)
• IASG : Kavan Ratnatunga's Galactic Structure Analysis package.
• MDBNCH , A molecular dynamics benchmark.
• The Laboratory for Computational Astrophysics (LCA) maintains an archive of their codes and documentation .
• The Grand Challenge Cosmology Consortium (GC3) figures out the origin of large scale structure in the universe. They have a software archive as well as a data archive .
• Tomasz Plewa's (Warsaw University Observatory) Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics list, part of the CFD codes list document, which is regularly posted to the sci.physics.computational.fluid-dynamics newsgroup .
• Amara Graps's N-body/Particle simulation methods home page. (This also includes a nice summary from a sci.math.num-analysis newsgroup discussion on N-body/Particle simulation numerical schemes.
• Animations (you probably need to have mpeg_play in your command search path) and other pretty pictures:
  • A sample movie by Chris Mihos and Lars Hernquist show an encounter between two equal mass galaxy disks.
  • The Indiana University Astronomy Department also has some animations containing N-body simulations.
  • The Cosmic Explorer has various animations on cosmological simulations from the UIUC group.
  • The LCA Cosmology simulations. Check out the recent record breaker
  • A sample of GC3 Cosmology simulations. Some overlap with the previous item.
  • SPH Simulations from the Cardiff Star Formation group
  • Jun Makino's homepage has some interesting animations.
  • HPCC-UW Multimedia Show.
• Some related material from other fields that may be useful (at least I think they are):
  • LASSPTools is a collection of Unix utilities for numerical analysis and graphics, built very much in the philosophy of NEMO, and may be useful in NEMO shell scripts.
  • VMD a vizualization system for molecular dynamics.
• Some software information banks that may be relevant:
  • ASDS
  • AstroWeb
