OSIRIS Consortium: https://osiris-code.github.io/consortium/ ; like OpenMPI:

> The goal of the open-source OSIRIS project is to provide a large user base with a flexible software framework to study a variety of physics problems within high energy density plasma science, plasma-based acceleration, space and astrophysics, the nonlinear optics of plasmas, QED and other exotic plasmas, and high-intensity laser and beam plasma interactions.

Do such extreme quantum vacuum effects affect the 100 Gbit/s of random at that point in quantum foam spacetime? [1]
