A French initiative to promote extreme computing in cosmology
Who ? 30 scientists 6 institutes 2 engineers, 5 post-docs 10 PhD students What ? Parallel computing Visualization tools Galaxy formation physics Theoretical Virtual Observatory How ? 1/2 M hardware support 1/2 TéraFlops dedicated computer 6 nodes grid of AMD 64 quads http://www.projet-horizon.fr Objectives of the Horizon Project:
- Prepare, run and analyze large and massively // cosmological simulations
- Build the necessary infrastructure to optimize their scientific exploitation
- Promote among French scientists the expertise in computational cosmology
Supercomputing in Europe: DEISA Extreme Computing Initiative
RAMSES Teyssier, R. A&A, 2002, 385, 337 Tree based AMR code Unsplit high-order Godunov Galaxy formation physics Adaptive domain decomposition using “space filling curve” MPI and F90 Horizon was selected with 27
