The search for the explosion mechanism of core collapse supernovae and the computation of the nucleosynthesis, neutrino and gravitational wave signatures in these spectacular stellar explosions is one of the most important and most challenging problems in computational astrophysics. Core collapse supernovae are one of the most energetic explosions in the Cosmos, disrupting almost entirely stars more massive than ten Suns and disseminating and producing many of the elements in the periodic table heavier than hydrodgen and helium, without which life as we know it would not exist. They are a nexus for nuclear physics, particle physics, fluid dynamics, radiation transport, and general relativity, and serve as cosmic laboratories for matter at extremes of density, temperature, and neutronization that cannot be produced in terrestrial laboratories. Here we will discuss recent progress by the TeraScale Supernova Initiative in modeling core collapse events using multidimensional magnetohydrodynamics and radiation hydrodynamics simulations.
