A chapter in High Performance Computing on Vector Systems 2007, 2008, pp 195-210 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract We give an overview of the problems and the current status of our two dimensional (core collapse) supernova modelling, and discuss the system of equations and the algorithm for its solution that are employed in our code. In particular we report our recent progress, and focus on the ongoing calculations that are performed on the NEC SX-8 at the HLRS Stuttgart. We also discuss recent optimizations carried out within the framework of the Teraflop Workbench, and comment on the parallel performance of the code, stressing the importance of developing a MPI version of the employed hydrodynamics module.
