Struphy is an open-source Python package for plasma physics equations designed for high-performance computing (HPC). It is based on vectorization (numpy), parallelization (mpi4py) and compilation (pyccel). The third iteration of the software comes with a re-vamped user interface, a Github repository and new support for Nvidia GPUs via cupy. In this tutorial we will learn how to run various plasma models, such as guiding-center equations, Vlasov-Maxwell equations and MHD equations, and how to change their parameter setup through the new API. We shall show how to load MHD equilibria from third-party packages like DESC and GVEC and how to run test particle simulations in Stellarators. Most exercises will be performed in Jupyter notebooks, provided on the interactive binder interface.
