Location in Space and Time
The ET Spring workshop will be held from Tue, 04/26/11 (morning; official start 2pm afternoon) - Fri, 04/29/11 (morning) at the Cahill Center for Astronomy and Astrophysics at Caltech and is organized by TAPIR. The meeting will be in room Cahill 273.
Registration
Please send an email to reisswig@tapir.caltech.edu for registration.
Accommodation
You are responsible for arranging your accommodation. We recommend the Saga Motor Hotel or the Vagabond Inn, which are both within walking distance to Caltech. Please request the special Caltech rate. This cannot be done online and must be booked by calling.
- Saga Motor Hotel
- 1635 E Colorado Blvd, Pasadena, CA 91106
- Phone: 626-795-0431
- Caltech rate: $77+tax (single occupancy)
- Vagabond Inn
- 1203 E. Colorado Blvd, Pasadena, CA 91106
- Phone: 626-449-3170
- Caltech rate: $79+tax (1-2 people)
From LAX to Pasadena
There are many possible ways of getting from the airport to Pasadena:
- - Taxi (~$100)
- - Super Shuttle (~$40)
- - FlyAway Bus + Metro Gold Line (~$9 in total)
At any terminal at LAX, you will find departure platforms for all of the above
transportation systems just outside the terminals.
The FlyAway Bus + Metro is usually very convenient. To get on it, just wait by the blue sign that says "FlyAway Busses". Wait until a FlyAway Bus with sign "Union Station" arrives (it departs every ~30min). Jump on it and go until Union Station (its only and final destination). You pay $7 upon arrival (they have change if you don't exactly have $7). At Union Station, go to the platform that says "Metro Gold Line". Pay $1.50 at the ticket machine (one way ticket). Take the Metro Gold Line (direction "Sierra Madre Station") and exit at "Lake Station" or "Allen Station" (best for the Saga Motor Hotel). Check out google maps for further info. Here's a link to Metro Gold Line, including a link to this trip planer (it also knows about FlyAway busses).
Additional Information
There will be coffee & pastries in the morning and afternoon. Unfortunately, we will not be able to provide or pay for lunch/dinner.

Progress reports
- -Refluxing and regridding should now work together. The corresponding bug in thorn LSUDevelopment/Refluxing should be corrected.
- -We plan to move thorn LSUDevelopment/Refluxing to LSUThorns/Refluxing, where it will be publicly available.
- -Christian Reisswig is working on higher-order cell-centred ENO operators that will improve accuracy for hydro evolutions.
- -The Mercurial version of Carpet is now (is it?) the default version of Carpet that is available with the development version of the Einstein Toolkit. Frank Löffler configured the Mercurial server to allow public read-only access to the repository.
- -Peter Diener designed and implemented an improved load balancing mechanism for Carpet that should be able to provide better load balancing, in particular if the domain is "uneven", i.e. if there are multiple unequal-sized patches, or if the number of processes is not a cube. This mechanism is now attached to Carpet and ready for testing.
