<p>The <strong>Pencil Code</strong> is a high-order finite-difference code
for compressible hydrodynamic flows with magnetic fields.  It is
highly modular and can easily be adapted to different types of
problems.  The code runs efficiently under MPI on massively parallel
shared- or distributed-memory computers.</p>

<p>The Pencil Code or equivalent codes have been used for many
different applications in a (more or less) astrophysical context.
Examples are</p>
