The Einstein Toolkit
North American Einstein Toolkit Workshop and School 2026
The workshop was held at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign from 15-18 June 2026 and online. Slides are now available on the program pages.
The Workshop provided an opportunity for researchers and students to learn about the Einstein Toolkit, and it offered a mixture of talks and tutorials. We had a number of tutorials on CarpetX and science codes based on CarpetX, the new, GPU-enabled version of the Einstein Toolkit. The talks, likewise, provided information for new users and will highlight exciting science cases and the latest developments in numerical relativity.
