PySPH-1.0b1 released

[prabhuramachandran]

Hi,

We are pleased to release PySPH version 1.0b1.

PySPH is an open source (BSD licensed) framework for Smoothed Particle
Hydrodynamics (SPH) simulations. It is implemented in Python and the
performance critical parts are implemented in Cython/OpenCL/CUDA. A wide
variety of SPH formulations are available and new ones can be easily added.

PySPH allows users to write their high-level code in pure Python. This Python
code is automatically converted to high-performance Cython or OpenCL/CUDA
which is compiled and executed. PySPH can be configured to work seamlessly
with OpenMP, OpenCL/CUDA, and MPI.
