ExaGRyPE: Numerical General Relativity Solvers Based upon the Hyperbolic PDEs Solver Engine ExaHyPE

ExaGrYPE is an extension to ExaHyPE 2 which in turn is built on top of Peano 4. Peano provides the AMR meshing (as well as all other facilities that we need such as the data management, MPI and multithreading), ExaHyPE 2 provides all the hyperbolic solver tools on top of this, and ExaGRyPE finally tweaks and tailors these generic solvers towards numerical relativity.

The code is introduced in a paper in Computer Physics Communications

@article{Zhang:2025:ExaGRyPE,
title = {ExaGRyPE: Numerical general relativity solvers based upon the hyperbolic PDEs solver engine ExaHyPE},
journal = {Computer Physics Communications},
volume = {307},
pages = {109435},
year = {2025},
issn = {0010-4655},
doi = {https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cpc.2024.109435},
}

and the source code is now part of the the standard Peano 4 releases. If you download this code and add ExaHyPE as extension, you can directly reproduce all ExaGRyPE results and build your own ExaGRyPE applications. The code’s documentation holds tutorials and information on this.

  • I'm very happy that I secured the second place at a quiz at #SC24
  • Just learned that the UK's Numerical Relativity CCP scoping grant (UKNR) has been successful. Great to see that such a community is shaping. #ExaHyPE's ExaGRyPE software will be on board. Gratulations to Katy Clough and colleagues for driving this.
  • I've just updated/created a dedicated software page on ExaGRyPE, to make it easier for colleagues to find the code base: tobiasweinzierl.webspace.durham.ac.uk/exagrype/ https://tobiasweinzierl.webspace.durham.ac.uk/exagrype/
  • If you speak German/Franconian, this podcast @code4thought.bsky.social is definitely worth listening. This type of history lesson should be mandatory for all HPC courses. [contains quote post or other embedded content]
  • Fascinating to see Frontier and Summit (just switched off) today with friends from ARC and DiRAC, Queen Mary and UCL. Repost from another bird platform because it was so cool.
