  Using gauge/gravity duality methods, we study the relaxation towards
equilibrium of strongly interacting non-Abelian matter. We adopt boundary
sourcing to drive the system out-of-equilibrium, and analyze the equilibration
process through local probes (energy density and pressures) and nonlocal probes
(lengths of the geodesics between two boundary points and extremal surfaces
having a Wilson loop as contour on the boundary). We also investigate the
real-time dissociation of the heavy quarkonium in the out-of-equilibrium
plasma. Systematic comparison with the results of a geometry dual to viscous
hydrodynamics sheds light on the thermalization process.
