JAX-powered Cosmological Particle-Mesh N-body Solver

> ### Note
> **The new JaxPM v0.1.xx** supports multi-GPU model distribution while remaining compatible with previous releases. These significant changes are still under development and testing, so please report any issues you encounter.
> For the older version but more stable version, install:
> ```bash
> pip install jaxpm==0.0.2
> ```

## Install

Basic installation can be done using pip:
```bash
pip install jaxpm
```
For more advanced installation for optimized distribution on gpu clusters, please install jaxDecomp first. See instructions [here](https://github.com/DifferentiableUniverseInitiative/jaxDecomp).


## Goals

Provide a modern infrastructure to support differentiable PM N-body simulations using JAX:
- Keep implementation simple and readable, in pure NumPy API
- Any order forward and backward automatic differentiation
- Support automated batching using `vmap`
- Compatibility with external optimizer libraries like `optax`
- Now fully distributable on **multi-GPU and multi-node** systems using [jaxDecomp](https://github.com/DifferentiableUniverseInitiative/jaxDecomp) working with`JAX v0.4.35`


## Open development and use

Current expectations are:
- This project is and will remain open source, and usable without any restrictions for any purposes
- Will be a simple publication on [The Journal of Open Source Software](https://joss.theoj.org/)
- Everyone is welcome to contribute, and can join the JOSS publication (until it is submitted to the journal).
- Anyone (including main contributors) can use this code as a framework to build and publish their own applications, with no expectation that they *need* to extend authorship to all jaxpm developers.

## Getting Started

To dive into JaxPM’s capabilities, please explore the **notebook section** for detailed tutorials and examples on various setups, from single-device simulations to multi-host configurations. You can find the notebooks' [README here](notebooks/README.md) for a structured guide through each tutorial.
