CADISHI

Introduction

CADISHI -- CAlculation of DIStance HIstograms -- is a software package that enables scientists to compute (Euclidean) distance histograms efficiently. Any sets of objects that have 3D Cartesian coordinates may be used as input, for example, atoms in molecular dynamics datasets or galaxies in astrophysical contexts. CADISHI drives the high-performance kernels pydh (CPU) and cudh (GPU, optional) to do the actual histogram computation. The kernels pydh and cudh are part of CADISHI and are written in C++ and CUDA.
