Inovesa (Inovesa Numerical Optimized Vlasov Equation Solver Application) is a tool developed to simulate the dynamics of an electron bunch in a storage ring, including the self-interaction with its own wake field. To do so, it uses the well established method to numerically solve the Vlasov-Fokker-Planck equation.
Inovesa is modularly extensible and uses OpenCL to massively parallelize the computation. It was designed with standard desktop PCs and usability in mind. The working principle and example numerical studies can be found in the paper describing Inovesa (PRAB).
Inovesa and the experience of any user greatly profits from contributions of any form -- starting from questions or bug reports going all the way to implementation of new features. If you consider contributing to Inovesa, please read the contibuting file.
Compiling inovesa follows the standard build procedure of CMake. Details can be found at the corresponding Inovesa Wiki page.
CMake will check whether build requirenmens are met. On Debian 8 the following packages have to be installed.
Mandatory:
- cmake
- g++
- libboost-dev
- libboost-system-dev
- libboost-filesystem-dev
- libboost-program-options-dev
- libfftw3-dev
Optional:
- libglew-dev (for GUI support)
- libglfw3-dev (for GUI support)
- libhdf5-dev (for HDF5 support)
- libpng++-dev (for PNG support)
- libxrandr-dev (for GUI support)
- opencl-dev (optional for parallelization)
- libclfft-dev (for faster FFT using parallelization)
