Newly Released OpenCL Software: Atomic and Molecular Plasma Emission Code
We developed the Eborae Atomic and Molecular Plasma Emission Code (E(A+M)PEC) to trace in a time-dependent fashion the thermal state of a plasma (composed by the ten most abundant elements in nature - H, He, C, N, O, Ne, Mg, Si, S, and Fe) to determine on the spot (during the MHD evolution of a system) the cooling and emission spectra. E(A+M)PEC runs on multi-core CPUs and on NVIDIA GPUs by means of OpenCL. For further details see Avillez (2011) and Avillez & Spitoni (2011).
