Piernik Service (AstroGrid-PL)
============================================

The high performance numerical simulations involving dynamics of fluids and particle has become an indispensable tool
for modern astrophysical modelling. InSilicoLab for Astrophysics is a framework dedicated for computational
astrophysicists intending to conduct an numerical experiment using the `PLGRID <http://www.plgrid.pl>`_ infrastructure.
It serves as an interface for the multi-purpose, magnetohydrodynamical, open-source code
`PIERNIK <http://piernik.astri.umk.pl>`_. As a result, scientists using only a web browser can perform a full sequence
of actions starting from copying of the source code from a publicly accessible repository, through the remote
compilation of the code, execution of the numerical experiment in the `PLGRID <http://www.plgrid.pl>`_ infrastructure
and an immediate visualization of the results using the yt package. Additionally the simulation results are stored as
binary HDF5 files in LFC catalogue, available for further analysis. The offered solution can serve as a template for the
other astrophysical simulation codes.
