+ Protocols 
For discussion purposes it will be good to have a list of real protocols, i.e. simulation and post-processing codes and algorithms.
 Examples of protocols:

Simulators: 

 Gadget (http://www.mpa-garching.mpg.de/gadget/)
  Enzo ...
  Flash ...
  Nemo ...
  Ramses ...
  L-Galaxies (MPA semi-analytical (SAM) galaxy formation code)
  GalForm (Durham SAM code)
  GalICS (Horizon SAM)
  ...
 

Pure post-processors:
cluster finders 

 FOF cluster finders (various implementations)
  SUBFIND cluster finder (Springel etal 2001, 
 
ADS 
 ...
 
others
