ExaFMM: An open source library for Fast Multipole Methods

This is a trifold brochure, prepared to accompany our poster on the exaFMM code, presented at the Supercomputing Conference, November 2011, Seattle. <strong>What's new? An open source FMM</strong>—The fast multipole method (FMM) is a numerical engine used in many applications, from acoustics, electrostatics, fluid simulations, wave scattering, and more. Despite its importance, there is a lack of open community code, which arguably has affected its wider adoption. It is also a difficult algorithm to understand and to program, making availability of open-source implementations even more desirable. Items in the brochure: - Method: multiople-based, hierarchical - Features - Performance: Strong and weak scaling - GPU relevance: Compute-bound - Applications: Electrostatics, Turbulence Simulation It folds like a trifold brochure!
