 * a parallelized Lagrangian particle model is embedded, which can be used for various applications (footprint calculation, simulation of cloud droplet growth, visualization, etc.)
 * code has an interface which allows users to plug in their own extensions without modifying the default code
+* code is permanently maintained and improved by the PALM group and other users; code management is based on subversion
+* advanced shell scripts for installing and running the code in interactive and batch mode are available
 
-The original version of which was developed from 1997-1999 at IMUK. This model is optimized for use on massively parallel computers, and it is therefore very well suited for simulations with an extremely large number of grid points. The current supercomputer of the North German Supercomputing Center "Norddeutscher Verbund für Hoch- und Höchstleistungsrechnen" (HLRN), an SGI-ICE machine with 12000 cores, allows calculations with up to 4096³ grid points.

 Our research focusses on the analysis of micro- and mesoscale turbulent boundary layers. Other key parts of our work include numerical improvements of PALM, in particular parallelized numerical schemes, and the development of software systems that are able to effectively visualize the extremely large data amount that is typical of parallelized models.
