PICSAR, for Particle-In-Cell Scalable Application Resource, is a high-performance Particle-in-Cell library developed in Fortran 90 and Python. This library was first developed to be coupled with WARP and provide efficient subroutines optimized for Many-Integrated Core (MIC) architectures such as the forthcoming system Cori Phase II that will be equipped with Intel Xeon Phi KNL processors. It is a compact self-contained proxy that adequately portrays the computational loads and dataflow of the more complex WARP code but can also be used by other PIC codes. PICSAR also contains a Fortran stand-alone Particle-In-Cell "mini-app" that includes the key functionalities of a PIC code. This stand-alone code is used for testing implementation performances and to do some benchmarks.
