North American Einstein Toolkit workshop 2019
  • Start Time: 
  • End Time: 
  • Location:  Golisano Hall - Rm. 1400 20 Lomb Memorial Dr., Rochester, NY 14623.
  • Type: Workshop

We are pleased to announce the 2019 edition of the North American Einstein Toolkit workshop. The workshop to be held at the Rochester Institute of Technology will provide an opportunity for researchers and students to learn about the toolkit and discuss its future development.


The Einstein Toolkit https://einsteintoolkit.org/  is a community-driven software platform of core computational tools to advance and support research in relativistic astrophysics and gravitational physics.

The workshop brings together members of the Einstein Toolkit Community together with developers of other relativistic astrophysics codes. Morning sessions on the first two days dedicated to discussing the status and future directions of the toolkit, and afternoon sessions dedicated to tutorials for new users. The final day will be dedicated to discussing codes and techniques used by other collaborations and the feasibility of importing those algorithms into the toolkit.

Our program is available here.
