The Spectral Einstein Code (SpEC) is a flexible infrastructure for solving partial differential equations using multi-domain spectral methods. While SpEC was primarily designed for fully general-relativistic compact object simulations, it can be applied to a wide range of hyperbolic and elliptic equations. Some of its features are:
A flexible domain decomposition supporting individual subdomains (cells, elements) of various topologies, e.g. blocks, spheres, cylinders, and any combination thereof. Subdomains can touch or overlap.
Solves hyperbolic and elliptic PDEs.
Interfaces to the visualization software ParaView and VisIt.
The main application area of SpEC lies in simulating compact binary objects. Specifically, it is one of the most accurate and efficient codes to compute the gravitational waveforms for inspiraling and coalescing binary black holes.
Contributors
SpEC was originally developed by Lawrence Kidder, Harald Pfeiffer, and Mark Scheel, who remain the principal maintainers of the code. Since then, many further individuals have contributed to SpEC. Most especially, Matthew Duez and Francois Foucart have developed the hydrodynamics module; Béla Szilágyi and Dan Hemberger have made numerous valuable additions throughout the code; and Lee Lindblom has contributed significantly to the algorithms used in SpEC.
The following researchers have substantially contributed to SpEC: Andy Bohn, Michael Boyle, Luisa Buchman, M. Brett Deaton, Nils Deppe, Roland Haas, Francois Hebert, Kate Henriksson, Stephen Lau, Geoffrey Lovelace, Curran Muhlberger, Sergei Ossokine, Rob Owen, Saul Teukolsky, and Will Throwe.
