Welcome to the Radix.jl wiki!

Radix.jl is a Julia package for simulating photo-ionized plasmas at X-ray frequencies. It is based on the FORTRAN program Xstar by Tim Kallmann at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. The difference between the two is that Radix.jl uses of modern programming constructs to make the software more modular, extensible, and performant. Much higher performance is expected by using vectorization and parallel programming, such as threading and GPUs.
