Outline Motivations from gravitational wave detection New parallel mesh refinement numerical scheme GPU acceleration for NR Summary The most stringent test of GR the anomalous precession of the?perihelion of Mercury (1915, v≈ ) Deflection of Starlight (1919, v≈ ) gravitational redshift (1965, v≈ ) gravitational time delay?effect (1968, v≈ ) Evidence?of?Gravitational Waves (1978, v≈ ) frame-dragging?effect (2010, v≈ ) Direct gravitational wave detection (?, v≈1) Gravitational wave astronomy Search back to extremely early universe Gravitational wave and its detection Category of Black Holes Super massive black hole: M: 10^5—10^9 Msun Stellar massive black hole: M: 1-10s Msun Intermediate massive black hole: M: 10s—10^5 Msun (mainly in globular cluster) [Farrell, et al, Nature 460 (2009) 73; Feng, et al, New Astronomy Reviews 55 (2011) 166] Category of Black Holes Binary IMBH and GW detection Data analysis and template Template model for BBH Template model for BBH PN templates: for early stage of inspiralling EOBNR (effective one body model together with numerical relativity): for full inspiral + merger + ring down stage; works well for mass ratio less than 1:8 and extreme mass ratio BBH, high spinning, precession! But no reliable template for mass ratio 1:10 to 1:100 Computational cost Challenge of large mass BBH to NR Compared to 1:1, the computational cost of 1:100 BBH increase roughly 200 times!! For typical simulation of 1:1 BBH, 14 days are needed. So by straight forward method to 1:100, roughly 1year is needed!! Possible ways out 1. Physical level: approximation method, such as self force frame work (but still first order yet), …… 2. Numerical Algorithm level: implicit scheme [R. Lau et al, PRD 84, 084023 (2011)], combine Cauchy evolution to null evolution, …… 3. Computer level: improve scalability to use more CPUs, use GPU, …… Possible ways out 1.
