US Supercomputer Models 13.4T Particles in Largest-Ever Simulations

The runs produced more than 85 petabytes of data to test models of cosmic inflation and generate mock observations for DESI and SPHEREx.

Aurora supercomputer simulated 13.4 trillion dark matter particles to help scientists investigate cosmic inflation and the early universe.

The early days of the universe may have left tiny traces in today's distribution of galaxies. To detect them, researchers have completed two enormous cosmological simulations with 13.4 trillion particles each. A special comparison of both model worlds will help in the future to distinguish such weak signals in the data of large sky patterns better from random fluctuations. Lemont (U.S.A.). Dark Matter [...] The post Record simulations are suppos…

Experts from the U.S. Department of Energy's Argon National Laboratory have performed two of the largest cosmological simulations to date, each of which has seen the evolution of 13.4 trillion dark matter particles across 28.6 billion light years, and the calculation of the supercomputer Aurora, which has a capacity exceeding a quintillion of operations per second, each with about 8,100 computing nodes and 50,000... The post Supercomputer Aurora…
