About


Unlocking the Future of High-Performance Scientific Computing


We are building an advanced, open-source software application designed to solve some of the most complex conservation laws using Spectral Element Methods. These laws are at the heart of understanding natural phenomena, from the behavior of fluids in aerodynamics to the intricate interactions of ocean currents and magnetic fields in astrophysics. Our software is critical to fields such as fluid dynamics, meteorology, physical oceanography, magnetohydrodynamics, and aerospace engineering.

Why It Matters

Modern challenges in science and engineering require cutting-edge computational tools to simulate and predict behaviors that are too expensive or impossible to experiment with directly. Our software is designed to run efficiently across a wide range of systems—from personal computers to high-performance computing (HPC) clusters, including both AMD and NVIDIA GPU acceleration.

For research teams, engineers, and scientists, this means the ability to:
  • Easily develop new solvers using object oriented features of Fortran, a language that is still used by a majority of developers of physics based applications in high performance computing
  • Solve larger, more complex problems faster.
  • Test and validate physical models with real-world applications.
  • Innovate in fields that impact energy, environment, defense, and space exploration.

Why We Need Your Support

As powerful and versatile as our software is, its development requires continuous effort. To ensure:
  • Maintenance: We need to regularly update the software for new hardware architectures and optimizations.
  • New Features: Expanding capabilities to support even more complex simulations and broadening the user base.
  • Community Support: We aim to provide thorough documentation, tutorials, and a responsive support system to help users make the most of the software.

Our goal is to keep this tool open-source, available to the global scientific and engineering communities without any financial barriers. With your backing, we can ensure this vital tool remains accessible, continually improved, and responsive to the needs of those pushing the boundaries of science.

Why Open Collective?

We’ve chosen Open Collective to fund this project because it promotes transparency and community involvement. Every contribution will go directly toward:
  • Supporting developers.
  • Covering infrastructure costs.
  • Ensuring long-term project sustainability.

With each backer, we move closer to building a better, more powerful scientific computing ecosystem—one that’s community-driven, open, and here for the long haul.
