Abstract

The SciNapse code generation system transforms high-level descriptions of partial differential equation problems into customized, efficient and documented C or Fortran code. Modelers can specify mathematical problems, solution techniques and I/O formats with a concise blend of mathematical expressions and keywords. An algorithm template language supports convenient extension of the system´s built-in knowledge base.
