MADNESS
=======

Multiresolution Adaptive Numerical Environment for Scientific Simulation

# Summary

MADNESS provides a high-level environment for the solution of integral and differential equations in many dimensions using adaptive, fast methods with guaranteed precision based on multi-resolution analysis and novel separated representations. 

There are three main components to MADNESS. At the lowest level is a new petascale parallel programming environment that increases programmer productivity and code performance/scalability while maintaining backward compatibility with current programming tools such as MPI and Global Arrays. The numerical capabilities built upon the parallel tools provide a high-level environment for composing and solving numerical problems in many (1-6+) dimensions. 

Finally, built upon the numerical tools are new applications with initial focus upon chemistry, atomic and molecular physics, material science, and nuclear structure.

User documentation can be found on [readthedocs](https://madness.readthedocs.io/en/latest/).

Developer documentation generated by doxygen can be found [here](https://m-a-d-n-e-s-s.github.io/madness/api-doc/).

Here's a [video](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBwWjmf5Tic) about MADNESS.
