iSGTW Image of the Week - Gravitational waves

Image of the Week: Gravitational Waves Numerical Simulation: The Cactus Code, Numerical Relativity group at AEI and CCT. Visualization created by Werner Benger, Center for Computation & Technology at Louisiana State University, Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics and Zuse Institute Berlin.Image courtesy of the Max-Planck Institute From the archives of scientific grid computing research, this visualization of gravitational waves, computed in accordance with Einstein’s theory of General Relativity, was generated in 2001 using data analyzed using the Cactus Computational Toolkit. Computations were run on three supercomputers at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications and one at the San Diego Supercomputing Center using Globus and MPICH-G2, a grid-enabled implementation of Message Passing Interface version 1.1.
