About:
Shamrock is a computational framework designed for astrophysical hydrodynamics simulations using SYCL. It enables high-performance computing across diverse hardware accelerators like GPUs from NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel. The tool provides a robust solution for researchers needing efficient, cross-platform simulation capabilities.

Key Features:

SYCL-based for heterogeneous computing
Cross-platform hardware support (NVIDIA, AMD, Intel GPUs)
Optimized for astrophysical hydrodynamics
Modern C++ implementation

Use Cases:

Simulating galaxy formation and evolution
Modeling fluid dynamics in stellar interiors
High-performance astrophysics research on local clusters

Alternatives:

FLASH – FLASH is a Fortran-based, traditional MPI solution, whereas Shamrock offers modern C++ and SYCL for broader hardware portability.
ENZO – ENZO is another open-source code primarily using C++ and MPI, with Shamrock focusing on next-generation accelerator support via SYCL.
