This award supports a three-day workshop at the FLASH center in Chicago on visualization and analysis for astrophysics simulation codes, focused primarily around the yt package. The workshop covers various aspects of yt, including introductory material, advanced usage and mechanisms for community involvement. Expected outcomes of the workshop include instruction on how to speed up analysis and visualization of astrophysical simulations; expansion of the user and developer base of yt, encouraging further development and support of new codes; and nurturing collaborations between computational astrophysicists. Broader impacts of this workshop include the dissemination of educational curricula related to the commonly-used yt analysis toolkit and a specific activity on public outreach and education through scientific visualization. Extensive curricula and worked examples will be made available online and will provide a resource for new users and early stage researchers to learn how to utilize this package and decrease the time necessary to learn a new system and productively analyze data.

该奖项支持在芝加哥的FLASH中心举办为期三天的关于天体物理模拟代码可视化和分析的研讨会，主要集中在yt包上。工作坊涵盖了yt的各个方面，包括入门材料，高级用法和社区参与机制。研讨会的预期成果包括指导如何加速天体物理模拟的分析和可视化;扩大yt的用户和开发者基础，鼓励进一步开发和支持新代码;以及培养计算天体物理学家之间的合作。这次研讨会的更广泛的影响包括传播与常用的yt分析工具包有关的教育课程，以及通过科学可视化进行公众宣传和教育的具体活动。广泛的课程和工作实例将在网上提供，并将为新用户和早期研究人员提供资源，以学习如何利用这套软件包，减少学习新系统和有效分析数据所需的时间。
