New thorn CactusExamples/Poisson

Issue #1682 closed
Erik Schnetter created an issue

I suggest to include the thorn CactusExamples/Poisson into the Einstein Toolkit. This thorn solves the Poisson equation, i.e. an elliptic equation, using the TATelliptic interface. A sample parameter file uses PETSc as back-end (via the generic TATelliptic interface).

    The thorn does not contain a testsuite. Would this be feasible, even (or maybe especially) for an example thorn? This connects to the example parameter file, so please see below:

    The example parameter file (as advertised) needs PETSc. This is not a big problem, as all required thorns are in the ET, but we have to remember that these are disabled for 'regular' installations.

    Speaking of the example parameter file: the output contains nans in the residuum, in particular in the boundary zones - but these spoils the reduction values too.
