| Sumario: | The article reports that researchers from the University of California High-Performance AstroComputing Center have modeled the evolution of a synthetic universe with Bolshoi computer simulations and the Pleiades supercomputer. According to the article, the simulations would not have been possible without high-performance computing (HPC). Topics include the Adaptive Refinement Tree (ART) algorithm, the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and Lambda Cold Dark Matter theory. The Cray XT5 Monte Rosa supercomputer is mentioned.
