Studying, understanding and predicting the effects of plasma turbulence in the Scrape-Off layer of a plasma device is of highest importance for future fusion power plants. Our goal is to study turbulence with the gyrokinetic code GENE. In order to apply GENE successfully in the Scrape-Off layer multiple adaptions to the code are necessary. 

The magnetic geometry in the Scrape-Off layer of a fusion device is numerically challenging. In order to meet these challenges new data structures and algorithms need to be developed and implemented. We present the software layout for a new version of the GENE code which has the potential to run at exascale and simulate turbulence in the Scrape-Off layer of fusion power plants in the future.
