Greetings Einstein Toolkit users!
We are excited to announce an upcoming *Einstein Toolkit Seminar*, which will take place on *Thursday, Feb 4, 2021* at our usual telecon time (10AM US Eastern Time) in the usual telecon Zoom channel ( https://lsu.zoom.us/j/631356683).
Our speaker will be *Gabriele Bozzola, from the University of Arizona*, and he'll be talking about "*Kuibit: a community-friendly tool to analyze Cactus simulations*".
Here are some more details:
*Abstract* Analyzing Einstein Toolkit simulations can be a challenging task. Usually, the process involves a series of technical obstacles like combining data from different restarts or working with HDF5 files. In this talk, I will present kuibit, a Python3.6+ library that takes care of all these low-level details (and many other more) and that provides high-level, intuitive, representations of the data. Kuibit comes with a wide range of features that include full support for 1-3D ASCII and HDF5 grid data, time and frequency series, gravitational waves, and apparent horizons. With kuibit, users can inspect most of the content of a simulation with just a few lines of code. Importantly, kuibit is designed to be a code for the community: it is user-friendly and does not require any proprietary software to run, it has documentation and examples, and it is openly developed with emphasis on extensibility and maintainability. In the talk, I will first give a general overview of the project, then I will discuss in more details the various modules. ---
We look forward to seeing you there!
-Zach, on behalf of the Maintainers
