a low Mach number stellar hydrodynamics code
Maestro solves the equations of low Mach number hydrodynamics for
stratified atmospheres/stars with a general equation of state. It
includes reactions and thermal diffusion and can be used on anything
from a single core to 100,000s of processor cores with MPI + OpenMP.
A description of the algorithm and links to the algorithm papers can be found here:

To use Maestro you need a copy of the BoxLib library, available
on github at:
https://github.com/BoxLib-Codes/BoxLib.git
A Getting Started guide is provided in the Maestro User's Guide. To
build the User's Guide, cd into Docs/, and type make, or download

New features are committed to the development branch. Nightly
regression testing is used to ensure that no answers change (or if
they do, that the changes were expected). No changes should ever
be pushed directly into master.
On the first workday of each month, we perform a merge of
development into master, in coordination with BoxLib, Castro,
and Microphysics. For this merge to take place, we need to be
passing the regression tests. To accommodate this need, we close the
merge window into development a few days before the merge day.
While the merge window is closed, only bug fixes should be pushed into
development. Once the merge from development -> master is done,
the merge window reopens.
