AMReX is a publicly available software framework designed for building massively parallel block- structured adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) applications. Block-structured AMR provides a way to exploit varying resolution requirements in space and time by focusing computational resources in spatiotemporal regions of interest.

This workshop will present a brief overview of adaptive mesh refinement, providing a number of real life examples of where it has been used. Attendees will then work through an example to demonstrate the capabilities.
