Development

Cactus is being developed and extended through numerous projects some of which are described here.

Parallel Drivers and Adaptive Mesh Refinement

XiRel	Focusing on numerical relativity applications, the XiRel project funded by NSF is improving and optimizing the Carpet driver layer, and investigating other AMR libraries to prepare for petascale platforms.
CyberTools	The NSF funded CyberTools project involves several research institutions in Louisiana in developing new application enabling cyberinfrastructure. Through this project a CFD toolkit will be developed for Cactus, including a driver layer supporting unstructured meshes.

Tools

ALPACA

The ALPACA project funded by NSF is developing tools for application level performance profiling and debugging. As part of the ALPACA project, in collaboration with the Blue Waters consortium, we are integrating Cactus into the Eclipse environment.

Applications

COMI	The COMI project, funded by ONR, is developing a coastal modeling infrastucture based on Cactus
UCOMS	A new ``black oil'' code for high throughput reservoir simulations is being developed in Cactus.
