Ramses is an open source code to model astrophysical systems, featuring self-gravitating, magnetised, compressible, radiative fluid flows. It is based on the Adaptive Mesh Refinement (AMR) technique on a fully-threaded graded octree. ramses is written in Fortran 90 and is making intensive use of the Message Passing Interface (MPI) library.
