pyLOM is a high-performance-computing enabled tool for massively parallel reduced order modelling. This tool includes parallel classical algorithms such as proper orthogonal decomposition (POD), dynamic mode decomposition (DMD) and spectral proper orthogonal decomposition (SPOD) as well as a set of deep learning architectures for model order reduction and surrogate modelling such as variational autoencoders. All pyLOM modules are GPU-enabled.
