TANGOS, the agile numerical galaxy organisation system
Project description
Tangos - The agile numerical galaxy organisation system
Tangos lets you build a database (along the lines of Eagle or MultiDark) for your own cosmological and zoom simulations.
It's a modular system for Python 3.6+, capable of generating and querying databases. Tangos:
- is designed to store and manage results from your own analysis code;
- provides web and python interfaces;
- allows users to construct science-focussed queries, including across entire merger trees, without requiring any knowledge of SQL;
When building databases, tangos:
- manages the process of populating the database with science data, including auto-parallelising your analysis;
- can be customised to work with multiple python modules such as pynbody or yt to process raw simulation data;
- can use your favourite database as the underlying store, thanks to sqlalchemy. By default, tangos uses the file-based database sqlite, but it is also routinely tested against the server-based MySQL.
Getting started
For information on getting started refer to the tutorials on our github pages. These tutorials are also available in markdown format within the tangos repository.
