Abstract
CHIMERA is a multi-dimensional radiation hydrodynamics code designed to study core-collapse supernovae. The code is made up of three essentially independent parts: a hydrodynamics module, a nuclear burning module, and a neutrino transport solver combined within an operator-split approach. Given CHIMERA's complexity and pace of ongoing development, a new support system, Bellerophon, has been designed and implemented to perform automated verification, visualization and management tasks while integrating with other workflow systems utilized by CHIMERA's development group. In order to achieve these goals, a multitier approach has been adopted. By integrating supercomputing platforms, visualization clusters, a dedicated web server and a client-side desktop application, this system attempts to provide an encapsulated, end-to-end solution to these needs.
