Rites of Passage
Cost of rewrite to a physicist is too high
- Demonstrated C++ codes which outperformed their Fortran equivalents
- Able to deploy a wider range of object optimizations such as array compression
- parallel encapsulation enabled “hidden” multi-threading
- Demonstrated C++ codes which outscaled their Fortran equivalents
- Dynamic load balancing ( e.g. particle swap and balance )
Developed full-scale physics codes:
- multi-material hydro
- fusion plasmas
- advanced accelerator design
