Abstract

We summarize numerical simulations of black hole binaries performed on the HLRB II (SGI Altix 4700) in the time frame 2006–2007. The numerical methods as well as their performance are presented in detail. We summarize modifications of the numerical methods and their impact on accuracy and efficiency of our simulations. We also report on the physical results extracted from these simulations. These concern black-hole physics in general as well as the use of our numerically generated waveforms in the ongoing effort to detect gravitational waves.
