Now that the physics awards for the spectacular LIGO discovery are being assigned, let me remind you what was announced early this year:
Best read this short summary and notably enjoy the various videos that are linked on the web page about
Simulating eXtreme Spacetimes http://www.black-holes.org/gw150914I like this one in particular (turn up sound)
https://youtu.be/FlDtXIBrAYEThe simulation of the binary BH merger (that emitted the gravitational waves) was coded by means of the famous Spectral Einstein Code
