This directory contains top-level routines to find the apparent horizon and interface with the rest of Cactus. The main source files in this directory are as follows: README.parallel design notes for the parallel/multiprocessor algorithms and data structures driver.hh overall header file for routines in this directory state.cc state information (data structures) kept across Cactus scheduler calls setup.cc # sees CCTK_ARGUMENTS, CCTK_PARAMETERS this is called from the scheduler to setup our data structures find_horizons.cc # sees CCTK_ARGUMENTS this is called from the scheduler to find the apparent horizon(s) in a slice mask.cc # sees CCTK_ARGUMENTS this is called from the scheduler to set an excision mask or masks announce.cc # sees CCTK_ARGUMENTS this is called from the scheduler to announce apparent horizon info to other thorns via aliased function calls spherical_surface.cc # sees CCTK_ARGUMENTS, CCTK_PARAMETERS this is called from the scheduler to store apparent horizon info in the SphericalSurface variables aliased_functions.cc # sees CCTK_ARGUMENTS, CCTK_FUNCTIONS this is called from other thorns via the flesh aliased-function interface, for the other thorns to find out about apparent horizons initial_guess.cc this sets up the initial guess(es) for the horizon position(s) Newton.cc # sees cGH (for interprocessor broadcasts) # uses CCTK_ReduceLocArrayToArray1D() for # interprocessor broadcast/synchronization this solves the Theta(h) = 0 equations by Newton's method io.cc I/O routines BH_diagnostics.{cc,hh} this struct (= class with public data) computes and keeps track of the BH diagnostics (horizon circumferences, area, irreducible mass, etc) misc-driver.cc some misc code that doesn't fit anywhere else :) Makefile.standalone Makefile for standalone test drivers etc horizon_sequence.{cc,hh} this class keeps track of the sequence of horizons which a given processor should try to find (possibly including dummy ones to preserve the multiprocessor synchronization) test_horizon_sequence.cc standalone test driver for horizon_sequence.{cc,hh} ellipsoid.maple this is a Maple script to compute the intersection of a given ray with an ellipsoid; this is used in setting up the initial guess ellipsoid.c this is the Maple-generated code from "ellipsoid.maple" ellipsoid.log this is the standard output from running "ellipsoid.maple"
