Numerical Relativity at UT Brownsville

Software Resources

Our central 3+1 simulations are run with locally-written code, sitting on top of the freely available Cactus Computational Toolkit.
Enrique Pazos wrote up some notes on using the Cactus code infrastructure for numerical evolutions on multiple-processor machines.
Our Numerical Relativity simulations are carried out with the Cactus program. We have summarized the procedure on how to install and compile Cactus programs. You should note that this guide was created based on our experience installing Cactus on our own computers. Although it is general enough, you will have to do your own if something goes wrong, and check the proper documentation at cactus website. One of the advantages Cactus provides is parallelization. The following is a set of notes on installing and running WaveDemo in the Lobizon Cluster.
