Quasinormal modes: the characteristic `sound' of black holes and neutron stars

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarize how quasinormal modes are defined and computed, see why they have been regarded as closely analogous to normal modes, and discover why they are actually quite different.

Supporting Efficient Execution in Heterogeneous Distributed Computing Environments with Cactus and Globus

TL;DR: An architecture and prototype implementation for a Grid-enabled computational framework based on Cactus, the MPICH-G2 Grid- enabled message-passing library, and a variety of specialized features to support e.cient execution in Grid environments is described.

The Cactus Worm: Experiments with Dynamic Resource Discovery and Allocation in a Grid Environment

TL;DR: The authors describe the adaptive resource selection mechanisms and describe how they are used to achieve automatic application migration to “better” resources following performance degradation, and the results provide insights into the architectural structures required to support Adaptive resource selection.

Efficient implementation of essentially non-oscillatory shock-capturing schemes,II

TL;DR: Two methods of sharpening contact discontinuities-the subcell resolution idea of Harten and the artificial compression idea of Yang, which those authors originally used in the cell average framework-are applied to the current ENO schemes using numerical fluxes and TVD Runge-Kutta time discretizations.
