1. Overview

DISPATCH

• is a code framework, rather than just another MHD/HD code

• is a system for task based computing with, in principle, unlimited scaling

• supports different kinds of (co-existing) tasks (e.g., cell-, ray- & particle-based), using HD, MHD, RMHD, non-ideal MHD, and / or particle-in-cell solvers

• can support and boost the performance of both existing and new solvers

• relieves solvers from dealing with MPI communication and OpenMP parallelization

• makes it easy to implement new solvers, which are required to perform only two tasks:

  1. choose a local time step size, based only on local variables

  2. update its state, given guard cell or other neighbor information provided by the framework
