PySpace 0.0.2

A toolbox for galactic simulations.

A python-based toolbox for galactic simulations

Documentation

The documentation for this project can be found at http://pyspace.readthedocs.org/.

Features

• A python interface for high performance C++ implementation of N-body simulation algorithms.

• PySpace has a numpy friendly API which makes it easier to use.

• Parallel support using OpenMP.

• Dumps vtk output which allows users to take advantage of tools like ParaView, MayaVi, etc. for visualization.

Algorithms

• Brute Force \(O(n^2)\)

Installation
