PIC beyond iPIC3D

In this talk, I will introduce Entity, a community-developed, open-source, GPU-accelerated particle-in-cell framework for large-scale simulations of collisionless plasmas. Entity’s grid-agnostic architecture and use of the Kokkos performance portability library enable efficient execution across CPU and GPU platforms, making it a versatile tool for studying plasma environments from laboratory...
