Galaxies are not evenly distributed throughout the universe, they form massive superclusters with tendril-like “filaments” stretching between clusters. A developer named Markus Lipp has created a ...

The Virgo consortium, an international group of astrophysicists from Germany, the UK, Canada and the USA has just released first results from the largest simulation ever of cosmic structure growth and ...

But the fundamental parameters used as the input for the Millennium Run are now known to be inaccurate. Produced by the Virgo Consortium of mostly European scientists, the Millennium simulation used ...

Back in 1970, Jim Peebles at Princeton University carried out a ground-breaking experiment. He used the new-fangled technology of computing to simulate the behaviour of a cluster of galaxies under the ...

The biggest and most detailed supercomputer simulation of the evolution of the Universe has been performed. The simulation mimics the Universe’s growth from a few hundred thousand years after the Big ...

Disney is building a real-time, ultra-high-res flight simulator for the Millennium Falcon and they’re powering it with eight daisy-chained high-end Nvidia GPUs. The experience, which is destined to ...

The Bolshoi supercomputer simulation, the most accurate and detailed large cosmological simulation run to date, gives physicists and astronomers a powerful new tool for understanding such cosmic ...
