Why cl-mpm?

cl-mpm started as an introductory project for common lisp at the start of my PhD, but eventually ended up filling an interesting niche in the MPM community:

• Correctness: the aim is to generate correct results, and as such a reasonable amount of testing has been done
• Interactivity: Common Lisp excels when used interactively, it is much easier to debug a problem if you can stop and inspect all aspects of your data instantaneously
• Speed: starting with multithreading in mind, and then transitioning towards MPI as seamlessly as possible allows for large problems to be run

cl-mpm's main dependancy is MAGICL https://github.com/quil-lang/magicl a matrix library
