SpECTRE: A task-based discontinuous Galerkin code for relativistic astrophysics

ORAL

Abstract

We provide an update on the development of SpECTRE (https://github.com/sxs-collaboration/spectre), a new open-source relativistic astrophysics code that combines a discontinuous Galerkin method with a task-based parallelism model. SpECTRE's goal is to achieve more accurate solutions for challenging relativistic astrophysics problems such as core-collapse supernovae and binary neutron star mergers, while making efficient use of the largest supercomputers.
