Problem size: Analysis with Uniform Grid
-
Requested spatial resolution: 50 mesh points per black hole (radius of event horizon, R)
-
To extract gravitational waves a space region of ~100 R is necessary
-
Number of mesh points: (50 x100)3 => ~ 1011
-
Time evolution: 50,000 steps (corresponds to distance ~1000R with dt=dx)
-
Total number of events: ~1016
-
Floating point operations per event: ~104
-
Total FLOP count: 1020 => 30 years of a Teraflop machine!
