Spatially Resolved Chandra HETG Spectroscopy of the NLR Ionization Cone in NGC 1068

Daniel A. Evans, Patrick M. Ogle, Herman L. Marshall +9

We present initial results from a new 440-ks Chandra HETG GTO observation of the canonical Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 1068. The proximity of NGC 1068, together with Chandra's superb spat…

Parallelizing the XSTAR Photoionization Code

Michael S. Noble, Li Ji, Andrew Young +1

We describe two means by which XSTAR, a code which computes physical conditions and emission spectra of photoionized gases, has been parallelized. The first is pvm_xstar, a wrapper…

Getting More From Your Multicore: Exploiting OpenMP for Astronomy

Michael S. Noble

Motivated by the emergence of multicore architectures, and the reality that parallelism is rarely used for analysis in observational astronomy, we demonstrate how general users may…

Getting More From Your Multicore: Exploiting OpenMP From An Open Source Numerical Scripting Language

Michael S. Noble

We introduce SLIRP, a module generator for the S-Lang numerical scripting language, with a focus on its vectorization capabilities. We demonstrate how both SLIRP and S-Lang were ea…

Using the Parallel Virtual Machine for Everyday Analysis

M. S. Noble, J. C. Houck, J. E. Davis +2

A review of the literature reveals that while parallel computing is sometimes employed by astronomers for custom, large-scale calculations, no package fosters the routine applicati…
