Supercomputing Black Hole Mergers with Blue Waters

"The mathematics involved in simulating these events is very sophisticated because one has to solve the equations of Einstein's general relativity and magneto-hydrodynamics all together. The problem also requires very advanced supercomputers running programs on tens of thousands of CPUs simultaneously, and the use of sophisticated techniques for data extraction and visualization. Petascale numerical simulation is therefore the only tool available to accurately model these systems."
