Quadrilateral, Umbra-producing, Orthogonal, Kangaroo-conserving Kode for Astrophysics!
For detailed instructions on installing the code, please refer to the Quokka Documentation. You can start a Discussion for technical support, or open an Issue for any bug reports.
Quokka is a two-moment radiation hydrodynamics code that uses the piecewise-parabolic method, with AMR and subcycling in time. Runs on CPUs (MPI+vectorized) or NVIDIA GPUs (MPI+CUDA) with a single-source codebase. Written in C++20. (100% Fortran-free.)
This is a a Kelvin-Helmholz instability simulated with Quokka on a 512x512 uniform grid:
- C++ compiler (with C++20 support)
- CMake 3.16+
- Python 3.8+
- MPI library with GPU-aware support (OpenMPI, MPICH, or Cray MPI)
- HDF5 1.10+ (serial version)
- CUDA 12.0+ (optional, for NVIDIA GPUs)
- ROCm 6.3+ (optional, for AMD GPUs)
- ADIOS2 2.9+ with GPU-aware support (optional, for writing terabyte-sized or larger outputs)
