HPC DNS Post-Processing Reference Manual

Welcome to the automated documentation suite for the high-order compact difference post-processing project! This manual includes reference documentation for both the compiled Fortran core and the Python binds/algebraic generators.

Architecture Overview

This post-processor compiles algebraic equations defined in a custom DSL (Domain Specific Language), computes high-order derivatives (1st & 2nd spatial derivatives) using tridiagonal finite differences, and leverages parallel MPI-IO blocks. Below is the primary compiler pipeline:

graph TD
    A[code_gen.py / DSL Input] -->|AST Compiler Pipeline| B[post.py / Code Gen]
    B -->|Generates budget kernels| C[m_calculate.f90]
    C -->|LU Tridiagonal Solvers| D[Compact.f90]
