Contributors

  • Clive Temperton is the author of the CFFT99 Fortran routine (1980).
  • Matteo Frigo and Steven G. Johnson (fftw@fftw.org) are the authors of the FFTW3 package, to which ADDA is linked.
  • Makoto Matsumoto and Takuji Nishimura are the authors of the Mersenne twister random number generator.
  • Michel D. Grimminck implemented the first versions of FFT part of ADDA (fft.c), matrix–vector product (matvec.c), and most of the non-standard beam types (GenerateB.c). He also contributed to the particle generation routines (make_particle.c).
  • Martin Frijlink implemented the first versions of the MPI part of ADDA (comm.c), 2D Romberg integration (Romberg.c), and calculation of the radiation force and scattering quantities obtained by integration (crosssec.c).
  • Konstantin A. Semyanov added several new shapes to the older version of particle generation routine (make_particle.c).
  • Daniel Hahn and Richard Joseph implemented egg and capsule shapes.
  • Konstantin Gilev provided the basis of the code for the shape axisymmetric.
  • Patrick C. Chaumet and Adel Rahmani contributed Fortran routines to integrate Green’s tensor.
  • Jin You Lu provided the basis of the code for the shapes bicoated and bisphere.
  • Alexander Moskalensky provided the basis of the code for the shape biellipsoid.
  • Sergei Lebedev implemented shape plate.
  • Roman Schuh and Thomas Wriedt contributed "Point in Polyhedron" tool (misc/pip), using the code by John Burkardt.
  • Josef Gasteiger contributed tool chain to work with Hyperfun models (misc/hyperfun).
  • Code for iterative solver bcgs2 is based on zbcg2.f90 by M.A. Botchev and D.R. Fokkema.
  • Neoklis Kyriazis is the author of NEC2C, from which Sommerfeld integration routines are used.
  • Stefania D'Agostino contributed the first version of the code to calculate dipole decay-rate enhancement.

The above list doesn't include current contributors.

We also thank

  • Bruce T. Draine and Piotr J. Flatau for creating and developing the first publicly available DDA code DDSCAT. They maintain a high standard, which we try to match, both for highly productive convenient code and clear detailed manual. Parts of the user guide for DDSCAT 6.1 were used when writing the manual for ADDA.
  • Alexander N. Shvalov for information on MinGW and encouraging the authors to produce executables for Windows.
  • Michiel Min for fruitful discussions about the -anisotr option and his motivation to implement the FCD formulation.
  • R. Scott Brock for ideas to greatly accelerate computation of the scattered field.
  • All ADDA users who provided bug reports and suggestions, especially Antti Penttila and Vitezslav Karasek.
