This is a community database of accelerator simulation codes.
Contributions to the file codes.json, in which we list accelerator simulation codes, are welcome!
In order to parse the table efficiently, we apply a common schema.
Please use the following keywords for each entry in codes.json:
| Key | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
title |
Yes | Title of the code |
subtitle |
No | Subtitle of the code |
description |
Yes | A short description (<=300 characters) |
application |
No | Keywords (tags): list of application areas |
compute |
No | Keywords (tags): list of computational features |
method |
No | Keywords (tags): list of mathematical models & numerical methods |
phenomena |
No | Keywords (tags): list of physical phenomena |
homepage |
Yes | An URL to the homepage |
institutions |
No | A list of institutions (full names) |
institution_link |
No | A list of urls to the institutions |
repository |
No | An URL to the primary source code repository |
issue_tracker |
No | An URL to the primary issue tracker |
platform |
No | List for: linux, macos, windows |
license |
Yes | The SPDX license identifier or "freeware", "proprietary", "collaborators/MoU", or "unknown", as appropriate |
publication |
No | The preferred citation by the code authors |
publication_link |
No | An URL, ideally a https://doi.org/<DOI>, to the publication above |
The file schema.json (JSON schema is used to programatically check the schema once entries are changed.
The codes.json file is our central database for all information.
If you like to process and filter this list for your purpose, you could for instance load the whole list with Python:
import json
# Local file
codes = json.load(open("codes.json"))["codes"]
# Remote file
import urllib.request
URL = "https://campa-consortium.github.io/accelerator_simulation_codes/codes.json"
with urllib.request.urlopen(URL) as url:
codes = json.loads(url.read().decode())['codes']
type(codes)
# list: each code is one entry
type(codes[0])
# dict: a code entry with keywords as defined above
len(codes)
