Using ZPIC with C

The core algorithms of ZPIC are implemented in C, and all of the codes can be run as pure C codes, with no external dependencies. To get started with running ZPIC simulations from C be sure to check the Getting started page.

Examples

ZPIC also includes several C code examples, be sure to check the input directory in each of the ZPIC C code directory.
