FARSIGHT is a forward semi-Lagrangian particle method for the Vlasov-Poisson system in which the particle number density is represented on adaptively refined and remeshed panels in phase space, and an integral form of the Poisson equation is solved using a regularized electric field kernel and a GPU-accelerated hierarchical treecode. We describe the method and present numerical results encompassing Landau damping, two-stream instability, and halo formation in a particle beam.
