1. Purpose

Solve the Einstein equations in the Z4c formulation

David Hilditch, Sebastiano Bernuzzi, Marcus Thierfelder, Zhoujian Cao,
Wolfgang Tichy, Bernd Brügmann: Compact binary evolutions with the Z4c
formulation, Phys. Rev. D 88, 084057 (2013), DOI:
10.1103/PhysRevD.88.084057, arXiv:1212.2901 [gr-qc].



2. Notes on floating point operations:

We use fourth order finite differencing.

all first derivatives: 21 flop
all first and second derivatives: 126 flop

first derivatives: Kh, At, Gamt, Theta: 11 variables
first and derivatives: chi, gammat, alphaG, betaG: 11 variables

Total cost for derivatives: 1617 flop

RHS kernel: 1865 flop

Upwinded advection and dissipation: 90 flop per variable

Total cost for upwinded advection and dissipation: 1980 flop

Total cost for RHS: 5462 flop
