ET Workshop Fall 2012

Fall Einstein Toolkit Workshop 2012

This workshop is intended for developers and users that are already familiar with the toolkit. The main goals revolve all around the future development, improvement and extension of the toolkit, so don't expect long talks or presentations, but heavy discussions and long hacking sessions.

Location and Time

The workshop will be organized at RIT, with more details to be added here later.

The time is noonish on Monday the Oct 22nd to noonish on the Friday that week.

Hotel

The conference hotel will be the Radisson Hotel Rochester Airport, which is located at the corner of RIT's campus. A group rate will be available ($94 single, $104 double, not including taxes), with the code appearing here shortly, along with more details. There is a shuttle form the airport to/from the hotel, and a shuttle to campus, so cars will not be necessary.

Proposed Topics

Even with loose discussions and coding sessions some topic needs to be set to get something done. Some proposed things to work on are

• Efficiency / Scaling
• Scheduler (task/data based) (see Adding requirements to the Cactus scheduler)
• Simplify time/refinement level handling
• Generic elliptic solver (see notes from session at November 2011 ET workshop: Generic elliptic solver)
• Lay down the road map for further MHD development (MHD vector potential, ...)
• Cosmology
• Multipatch and hydrodynamics or only Multipach infrastructure for vacuum?
• Create test cases for recent additions to Einstein Toolkit
