The Adaptive Sparse Grid Discretization (ASGarD) code is a framework specifically targeted at solving high-dimensional PDEs using a combination of a Discontinuous-Galerkin Finite Element solver implemented atop an adaptive sparse grid basis. The adaptivity aspect allows for the sparsity of the basis to be adapted to the properties of the problem of interest, which facilitates retaining the advantages of sparse grids in cases where the standard sparse grid selection rule is not the best match. A prototype of the non-adaptive sparse-grid implementation was used to produce the results of [@dazevedo2020] for 3D time-domain Maxwell's equations. The implementation utilizes both CPU and GPU resources, as well as being single and multi-node capable. Performance portability is achieved by casting the computational kernels as linear algebra operations and relying on vendor provided BLAS libraries. Several test problems are provided, including advection up to 6D with either explicit or implicit timestepping.
