Advanced Simulation Library (ASL) is free and open source hardware accelerated multiphysics simulation software. It enables users to write customized numerical solvers in C++ and deploy them on a variety of massively parallel architectures, ranging from inexpensive FPGAs, DSPs and GPUs[1] up to heterogeneous clusters and supercomputers. Its internal computational engine is written in OpenCL and utilizes variety of advanced numerical methods[2], i.a. Finite Difference, Lattice Boltzmann, Immersed Boundary. ASL can be used to model various coupled physical and chemical phenomena, especially in the field of Computational fluid dynamics. It is distributed under the free GNU Affero General Public License with an optional commercial license.

History

Advanced Simulation Library is being developed by Avtech Scientific, an Israeli company. Its source code was released to the community on 14 May 2015 whose members packaged it for scientific sections of all major Linux distributions shortly thereafter.[3][4][5][6][7][8] Subsequently Khronos Group and IWOCL acknowledged ASL and listed it on their websites among OpenCL-based resources.[9][10]

Application areas
