SUNDIALS is a SUite of Nonlinear and DIfferential/ALgebraic equation Solvers. It consists of the following six solvers: CVODE, solves initial value problems for ordinary differential equation (ODE) systems; CVODES, solves ODE systems and includes sensitivity analysis capabilities (forward and adjoint); ARKODE, solves initial value ODE problems with additive Runge-Kutta methods, include support for IMEX methods; IDA, solves initial value problems for differential-algebraic equation (DAE) systems; IDAS, solves DAE systems and includes sensitivity analysis capabilities (forward and adjoint); KINSOL, solves nonlinear algebraic systems.
Traversing the “death valley” separating short and long times in non-equilibrium quantum dynamical simulations of real materials
We aim to tackle the fundamental bottlenecks that inhibit the faithful simulation of non-equilibrium quantum materials: the need to incorporate realistic interactions and the need to cross the “death valley” separating the very short times accessible to brute force simulation and the long times where hydrodynamics takes over.
