Given the community-oriented direction of the project, the parameter files required to launch these simulations and a host of others are included and documented in the code releases, along with the data files produced by a representative set of simulation parameters to allow for code validation and confirmation of correct code performance on new platforms and architectures. As part of the internal validation process,
nightly builds are checked against a set of benchmarks to ensure that consistent results are generated with the inclusion of all new commits to the code.
The performance of the Toolkit for vacuum configurations is demonstrated through evolutions of single, rotating BHs and the merger of binary black hole configurations (sections~\ref{sec:1bh-example} and \ref{sec:bbh-example}, respectively). Linear oscillations about equilibrium for an isolated NS are discussed in section~\ref{sec:tov_oscillations}, and the collapse of a NS to a BH, including dynamical formation of a horizon, in section~\ref{sec:collapse_example}. Finally, to show a less traditional application of the code, we show its ability to perform cosmological simulations by evolving a Kasner spacetime (see section~\ref{sec:cosmology}).
