BenchBSSN_MoL Benchmarking Application

Description

The BenchBSSN_MoL benchmark application is the computational kernel for the state of the art black hole simulations performed by the numerical relativity group at the CCT (Center for Computation and Technology) & AEI (Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics). Their production simulations are typically run across hundreds of processors for days at a time.

This benchmark uses one thorn which is not part of the Cactus distribution, but are freely available from the AEI CVS repository. Note that this evolution scheme is still being enhanced and developed and so benchmark numbers may change somewhat in time.
