Abstract:
We present the open source Astrophysical Multi-purpose Software
Environment (AMUSE), a component library for performing astrophysical
simulations involving different physical domains and scales. It
couples existing codes within a Python framework based on a
communication layer using MPI. The interfaces are standardized for
each domain and their implementation based on MPI guarantees that the
whole framework is well-suited for distributed computation. It
includes facilities for unit handling and data storage. Currently it
includes codes for gravitational dynamics, stellar evolution,
hydrodynamics and radiative transfer. Within each domain the
interfaces to the codes are as similar as possible. We describe the
design and implementation of AMUSE, as well as the main components and
community codes currently supported and we discuss the code
interactions facilitated by the framework. Additionally, we
demonstrate how AMUSE can be used to resolve complex astrophysical
problems by presenting example applications.
