Description : Dedalus is a framework for solving PDEs useful for astrophysical and geophysical fluid dynamics
Dedalus is a flexible framework for solving partial differential
equations using spectral methods. The code is open-source and developed
by a team of researchers studying astrophysical and geophysical fluid
dynamics.
Dedalus is written primarily in Python and features an easy-to-use
interface with symbolic equation entry. Our numerical algorithm produces
sparse systems for a wide variety of equations and
spectrally-discretized domains. These systems are efficiently solved
using compiled libraries and are automatically parallelized using MPI.
This package is useful because it is commonly used by researchers in
astrophysical and geophysical fields. I happen to be one of those
researchers using the package. I am not aware of another package that
provides similar functionalities already in Debian. I plan to maintain
the package as part of the Python team and I am looking for a sponsor
since this is my very first Debian package.
