2016 Rayleigh Tutorial

INSTRUCTOR

Nick Featherstone, University of Colorado

Workshop Information 

This workshop will provide an introduction to Rayleigh, an efficiently parallel, pseudo-spectral convection code for spherical and cartesian geometries. An overview of the underlying physics, the parallelization, and performance expectations on different architectures will be provided. Following the overview, participants will gain hands-on experience in building and running the code, modifying the code, and visualizing output.

WORKSHOP TOPICS

• Introduction to Rayleigh (lecture)
• Building the code
• Running the code & best practices
• Reading and plotting diagnostics output
• Customizing diagnostics
