Overview

AMReX is a software framework designed to accelerate scientific discovery for applications solving partial differential equations on block-structured meshes. Its massively parallel adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) algorithms focus computational resources and allow scalable performance on heterogeneous architectures so that scientists can efficiently resolve details in large simulations. AMReX is developed at LBNL.

More information is available at the AMReX website.

Features

  • C++ and Fortran interfaces
  • Support for cell-centered, face-centered, edge-centered, and nodal data
  • Support for hyperbolic, parabolic, and elliptic solves on a hierarchical adaptive grid structure
  • Optional subcycling in time for time-dependent PDEs
  • Support for particles
  • Embedded boundary description of irregular geometry
  • Parallelization via flat MPI, OpenMP, hybrid MPI/OpenMP, or MPI/MPI
  • GPU Acceleration with CUDA (NVidia), HIP (AMD) or SYCL (Intel) backends
  • Parallel I/O
  • Plotfile format supported by Amrvis, VisIt, ParaView and yt
  • Built-in profiling tools

Documentation

Four types of documentation are available:

Gallery

AMReX supports several Exascale Computing Project software applications, such as ExaSky, WarpX, Pele(Combustion), Astro, and MFiX-Exa. AMReX has also been used in a wide variety of other scientific simulations, some of which, can be seen in our application gallery.
