Frontier Supercomputer Simulates Universe with Unmatched Complexity
The Frontier supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory has conducted the most detailed universe simulation to date. Using the Hardware/Hybrid Accelerated Cosmology Code (HACC) under the U.S. Department of Energy’s Exascale Computing Project, the model incorporates dark matter, gas, and plasma interactions. With speeds reaching 1.4 exaFLOPS, ...
