* Package name : dedalus Version : 2.2006 Upstream Author : Keaton Burns <keaton.bu...@gmail.com> * URL : http://dedalus-project.org * License : GPL-3 Programming Lang: Python Description : Dedalus is a framework for solving PDEs useful for astrophysical and geophysical fluid dynamics Dedalus is a flexible framework for solving partial differential equations using spectral methods. The code is open-source and developed by a team of researchers studying astrophysical and geophysical fluid dynamics. Dedalus is written primarily in Python and features an easy-to-use interface with symbolic equation entry. Our numerical algorithm produces sparse systems for a wide variety of equations and spectrally-discretized domains. These systems are efficiently solved using compiled libraries and are automatically parallelized using MPI. This package is useful because it is commonly used by researchers in astrophysical and geophysical fields. I happen to be one of those researchers using the package. I am not aware of another package that provides similar functionalities already in Debian. I plan to maintain the package as part of the Python team and I am looking for a sponsor since this is my very first Debian package.
