Our Gr@v team has received an allocation of 3.3 million CPU-hours by the Spanish Supercomputing Network (Barcelona Supercomputing Center). The assigned machine is the Altamira supercomputer in the University of Cantabria, Santander (Spain), which has currently a total number of 2528 CPU cores at 2.6 GHz providing a peak performance of 105 Teraflops: https://www.res.es/en/about-res/nodes/altamira-uc
The computing time will be used to perform numerical relativity simulations of exotic compact objects such as Proca stars and hairy black holes, in a collaborative project with researchers in the University of Valencia. This type of simulations have already provided a catalog of gravitational waveform predictions that are fully compatible with current gravitational wave detections from the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA network of observatories. Let's continue this wonderful journey into the unknown!
