This workshop will be co-hosted with a Cactus workshop at the same time and place.

The ET workshop

We will cover the topics of advances in MHD, in particular resistivity, and advances in EOS handling.

The Cactus workshop

We will cover infrastructure improvements, in particular GPGPU support within Cactus and a Cactus scheduler overhaul.
