CSSI Framework: An open source software ecosystem for plasma physics
presentation
posted on 2020-02-05, 00:14 authored by Nicholas MurphyNicholas Murphy, Tulasi Parashar, Steven T. Vincena, Everson, Erik T., Schaffner, DavidPlasmaPy is an open source Python package for plasma physics that is
currently under development. The ultimate goal of this project is to
foster a community-wide open source software ecosystem for plasma
research and education. Following Astropy's model, functionality needed
across disciplines is being implemented in the PlasmaPy core package,
while more specialized functionality will be developed in affiliated
packages. We strive to use best practices from software engineering
that have heretofore been uncommon in plasma physics, including
continuous integration testing and code review. We will describe code
development and community building activities from the first few months
of our NSF CSSI award and plans for the next five years. This is the slide for the lightning talk at the 2020 NSF CSSI PI meeting.
