dc.description.abstract | We demonstrate the acceleration obtained from using GPU/CPU hybrid clusters
and supercomputers for N-body simulations of gravity based in part on the
author's new code development. Validation tests are shown for cosmological
simulations and for galaxy simulations, along with their respective speedups
compared to traditional simulations. Potential new applications for science
enabled by this advance are highlighted. | en_US |
