0.1.0: Ionization & Bug Fixes
This is version 0.1.0
of PIConGPU, a pre-beta version.
Initial field ionization support was added, including the first model for BSI. The code-base was substantially hardened, fixing several minor and major issues. Especially, several restart related issues, an issue with 2D3V ZigZack current calculation and a memory issue with Jetson TK1 boards were fixed. A work-around for a critical CUDA 6.5 compiler bug was applied to all affected parts of the code, CUDA 7 support was added.
A note on versions of PIConGPU: This version introduces semantic versioning to PIConGPU. Previously, we planned to release a beta
release shortly after our initial alpha
release, implicating that our last releases were labeled as "release-candidates" (rc) for beta
(but added way to many features). We postponed the beta
release and will simply tag an upcoming version 0.Y.Z.
as our beta
release.
