HPC Virtual Worlds: Experimental Black Hole Dynamics on Parallel Computers

Опубликовано 17 августа 2016, 0:33

Astrophysics is a science where controlled experiments are intrinsically challenging. Numerical laboratories on a computer are often the next best alternative. I describe our group's efforts to understand the supermassive black hole in the center of the Milky Way through global 3-D numerical simulations, which are performed on the 30,000 core SciNet cluster, and on GPU clusters.
