Quantities in the reaction-diffusion problem.

Ithildin is an open-source library and framework for efficient parallelized simulations of excitable media, written in the C++ programming language. It uses parallelization on multiple CPU processors via the message passing interface (MPI). We demonstrate the library’s versatility through a series of simulations in the context of the monodomain description of cardiac electrophysiology, including the S1S2 protocol, spiral break-up, and spiral waves in ventricular geometry. Our work demonstrates the power of Ithildin as a tool for studying complex wave patterns in cardiac tissue and its potential to inform future experimental and theoretical studies. We publish our full code with this paper in the name of open science.
