The starting point for the software development part of APDEC is the Chombo software framework, developed by the Applied Numerical Algorithms Group at LBNL as part of the Berkeley Lab AMR release. This framework is a refactored version of the BoxLib family of libraries, developed by the Center for Computational Sciences and Engineering at LBNL. Chombo has been specifically designed to make it easier to extend AMR to support embedded boundaries and particle methods, as well as adding new capabilities and new implementations of AMR algorithms on rectangular domains.
