Welcome to the COMPASS wiki.
The COMPASS platform comes with 2 user interface, one based on the Python language and the other on Yorick, interface which rely on several layers of software. These stacks are This stack is described in the 2 following figures.

The lower level is the GPU domain. This is where resides the computing power and the memory that needs to be addressed to perform the computations. To manipulate GPU arrays and use advanced and optimized numerical algorithms, COMPASS relies on 3 main pillars :
* the CUDA toolkit from NVIDIA including optimized libraries : CUBLAS, CUFFT, CURAND
* the CArMA (C++ Api for Massively parallel Applications)
* SuTrA (Simulation Tool for Adaptive optics).
The intermediate layer is the binding domain. This is where the set of optimized tools are bound to interpreted languages in order to build evolutive and modular higher level applications. This For now only the Yorick interpreted language is achieved using respectively Cython and supported through the Yorick API plus an additional layer of custom software. but plans exist to add Python support.
At the higher level, we find the python libraries and Yorick plugins accessible to the user through the interpreter. This includes the NAGA Python package and the YoGA Yorick plugin, providing general utilities to the user such as random number generation, fast Fourier transform or various BLAS levels. Additionally, the SHESHA package and YoGA_AO extension provide provides a whole environments, respectively in Python and Yorick, environment, including GUIs, to simulate adaptive optics systems.
