This three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program provides $360,000 to Brigham Young University to develop computational modeling capabilities for gravitational wave astronomy. Specifically, the university will expand its Dendrogram computational framework to calculate gravitational waveforms from binary neutron star inspirals and mergers with sufficient accuracy for inclusion in waveform catalogs. It will also study binary black hole inspirals with large mass ratios and model merging black hole binaries using alternative theories of gravity to probe deviations from general relativity. Further, the university will focus on improving numerical relativity accuracy by reducing computational solution times through techniques like GPU acceleration, innovative finite differencing, improved spatial discretization, and exposing temporal discretization to greater parallelism. The work directly supports the program's goal of advancing mathematical and physical sciences to strengthen the national scientific enterprise.
