BoSSS (Bounded Support Spectral Solver) is a flexible framework for the development, evaluation and application of numerical discretization schemes based on the Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method.

Its development has been initiated at the Chair of Fluid Dynamics in 2008 in order to establish a general foundation for the development of higher order discretizations for challenging physical problems. Over the years, BoSSS developed into fully-featured library for discontinuous Galerkin methods, including facilities for worflow management and the rapid prototyping discretization of partial differential equations.
