clTEM is currently in development. Please report any bugs here.

clTEM is an OpenCL accelerate implementation of the multislice algorithm for simulating transmission electron microscope images. The use of OpenCL means that the code will run on any hardware (AMD, Nvidia and Intel), particularly designed to exploit the power of GPUs. Some example images are shown below.

Background

The original code was written by Dr M. Adam Dyson and can be found here. This code was partly written as part of his PhD. Much of the code has been written with the help of Kirkland’s excellent book:
