The State of Fortran
A community of developers has formed to modernize the Fortran ecosystem. In this article, we describe the high-level features of Fortran that continue to make it a good choice for scientists and engineers in the 21st century. Ongoing efforts include the development of a Fortran standard library and package manager, the fostering of a friendly and welcoming online community, improved compiler support, and language feature development. The lessons learned are common across contemporary programming languages and help reduce the learning curve and increase adoption of Fortran. (Source: Computing in Science and Engineering)

Hardware-Accelerated Ray Tracing of CAD-Based Geometry for Monte Carlo Radiation Transport
Monte Carlo radiation transport (MCRT) methods have been used to simulate radiation environments for many decades by tracking individual particles through a model to accumulate statistical information. MCRT geometry is historically formed using the constructive solid geometry (CSG). Recently, significant work has been performed to support simulations using computer-aided design (CAD)-based tessellated surfaces to support highly complex geometries. Ray tracing acceleration data structures from the rendering and visualization community are applied to accelerate particle tracking in CAD-based models. Despite these efforts, CS...

In Situ Visualization of Regional-Scale Natural Hazards With Galaxy and Material Point Method
This study develops a scalable N:M interface architecture to visualize regional-scale landslides. We demonstrate the scalability of the architecture by simulating the long runout of the 2014 Oso landslide using the material point method coupled with the Galaxy ray tracing engine rendering 4.2 million material points as spheres. In situ visualization has an amortized runtime increase of 2% compared to nonvisualized simulations. The developed approach can achieve in situ visualization of regional-scale landslides with minimal impact on the simulation process. (Source: Computing in Science and Engineering)

Black Hole Physics and Computer Graphics
Black holes are among the most extreme objects known to exist in nature. As such, they are excellent laboratories for testing fundamental theories and studying matter in conditions that cannot be found anywhere else in the Universe. In this article, we highlight the relevance of black holes in modern physical and astronomical research and present one of the possible paths to explain observations and probe physics with the aid of numerical simulations. We briefly review dynamical-spacetime general-relativistic magneto-hydrodynamic (GRMHD) calculations as fundamental tools to study the local properties of black holes and mat...

ANARI: A 3-D Rendering API Standard
ANARI is a new 3-D rendering API, an emerging Khronos standard that enables visualization applications to leverage the state-of-the-art rendering techniques across diverse hardware platforms and rendering engines. Visualization applications have historically embedded custom-written renderers to enable them to provide the necessary combination of features, performance, and visual fidelity required by their users. As computing power, rendering algorithms, dedicated rendering hardware acceleration operations, and associated low-level APIs have advanced, the effort and costs associated with maintaining renderers within visuali...

Analytic Rendering and Hardware-Accelerated Simulation for Scientific Applications
Advances in entertainment-targeted rendering technology have been leveraged for scientific analysis. Recent progress in both hardware and software capabilities have spurred development in analytic rendering: rendering capabilities optimized for analysis, particularly 3-D spatial analysis. These efforts also leverage hardware-accelerated ray tracing for high-fidelity rendering, which unlocks the potential to use such acceleration methods directly in ray-based simulations such as radiative transfer. This special issue presents the new ANARI API standard for analytic rendering and examples of analytic rendering and hardware-a...
