Abstract

Numerical relativity is finally coming of age with the development of massively parallel computers. 3D problems, which were completely intractable several years ago due to limited computer power, can now be performed with grid sizes of about 2003. We report on several new codes developed for solving the full 3D Einstein equations, and present results of using them to evolve black holes and gravitational waves.
