Gabe: Grid And Bubble Evolver
As Cosmology enters its maturity, it is clear that numerical tools are an integral part of the next step of understanding in fundamental science.
GABE (Grid And Bubble Evolver) is a C++ program that evolves scalar fields (as well as other purposes) on an expanding background.
Would you like to use GABE?
Our source code is available here.
PLEASE NOTE: GABE requires FFTW to run. If you are using Linux/Unix, installing FFTW in a default way should work fine.
These instructions are used by me and my students to get our MAC laptops/workstations to run GABE.
If you would like to use GABE for your numerical needs, we welcome any collaborations and openly share our software with the community. However, we do retain the rights to this software and ask that scientists ask permission before making modifications. Further, we expressly prohibit the use of this software for proprietary or any profit making purposes or any use that is inconsistent with the goals of the National Science Foundation or Kenyon College.
Recently, I gave a talk on numerical methods and have decided to make the slides available. These slides describe my personal thoughts on numerical implementation of classical field theory and these walk through and this example that should work with GABE as downloaded above
Please contact Tom to report any bugs.
