During an evolution? Only when complete coarsest grid steps are
complete?<br>

<pre wrap="">Uhm, that is indeed correct. The thorn is not in the ET and any user
should consult the documentation in the thorn repository for license and
citation policies. I have added the URL, version information etc to the
"thorns we know of" page on the wiki which lists non-ET, public thorns:

There are two interfaces to the elliptic solver:
1. High-level: Coefficients of the elliptic problem are defined either as constant parameters in the user's parameter file, or as named grid functions. This means that you can solve elliptic equations without writing any new code. This was the original interface, and is the one used in the master branch.
2. Low-level: The RHS of the elliptic equation is provided by a user-written Cactus function which writes it into grid functions, identified using a registration mechanism. This makes it more similar to MoL, and more amenable to automatic code generation for complicated equations. The high-level interface has been re-implemented in terms of the new interface to avoid code duplication and to test the new interface. This is only currently available in the newapi branch, and is still under development and testing and is subject to change.
I have started writing a small example which uses the low-level interface, but it has been a low priority, and I haven't worked on it in the last few weeks. If someone is interested, let me know and I will make it a higher priority.
