Cabana is a performance portable library for particle-based simulations. Applications include, but are not limited to, Molecular Dynamics (MD) with short- and/or long-range interactions; various flavors of Particle-in-Cell (PIC) methods, including use within fluid and solid mechanics and plasma physics; and N-body cosmology simulations. Cabana provides particle data structures, algorithms, and utilities to enable simulations on a variety of platforms including many-core architectures and GPUs.

Cabana is developed as part of the Co-Design Center for Particle Applications (CoPA) within the Exascale Computing Project (ECP) under the U.S. Department of Energy. CoPA is a multi-institutional project with developers from ORNL, LANL, SNL, LLNL, PPNL, and ANL.

Instructions for building Cabana on various platforms, an API reference with tutorial links, and links to the Doxygen can be found in our wiki.

For Cabana-related questions you can open a GitHub issue to interact with the developers.
