Abstract: Abstract We give an overview of the problems and the current status of (core collapse) supernova modelling, and report on our own recent progress, including the ongoing development of a code for multi-dimensional supernova simulations at TFlop speeds. In particular, we focus on the aspects of neutrino transport, and discuss the system of equations and the algorithm for its solution that are employed in this code. We also report first benchmark results from this code on an SGI Altix and a NEC SX-8.
