Abstract

E(A+M)PEC traces the ionization structure, cooling and emission spectra of plasmas. It is written in OpenCL, runs in NVIDIA Graphics Processor Units and can be coupled to any HD or MHD code to follow the dynamical and thermal evolution of any plasma in, e.g., the interstellar medium (ISM).
