Cosmological simulations of structures and galaxies formations have played a fundamental role in the study of the origin, formation and evolution of the Universe. These studies improved enormously with the use of supercomputers and parallel…

We try to determine the Galactic structure by comparing the observed and modeled velocities of OB-associations in the 3 kpc solar neighborhood. We made N-body simulations with a rotating stellar bar. The galactic disk in our model includes…

This paper presents a fast, economical particle-multiple-mesh N-body code optimized for large-N modelling of collisionless dynamical processes, such as black-hole wandering or bar-halo interactions, occurring within isolated galaxies. The…

We report on improvements made over the past two decades to our adaptive treecode N-body method (HOT). A mathematical and computational approach to the cosmological N-body problem is described, with performance and scalability measured up…

The numerical simulations of massive collisional stellar systems, such as globular clusters (GCs), are very time-consuming. Until now, only a few realistic million-body simulations of GCs with a small fraction of binaries (5%) have been…

The main performance bottleneck of gravitational N-body codes is the force calculation between two particles. We have succeeded in speeding up this pair-wise force calculation by factors between two and ten, depending on the code and the…

We present $\texttt{Abacus}$, a fast and accurate cosmological $N$-body code based on a new method for calculating the gravitational potential from a static multipole mesh. The method analytically separates the near- and far-field forces,…

Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) are now powerful and flexible systems adapted and used for other purposes than graphics calculations (General Purpose computation on GPU -- GPGPU). We present here a prototype to be integrated into…

We describe source code level parallelization for the {\tt kira} direct gravitational $N$-body integrator, the workhorse of the {\tt starlab} production environment for simulating dense stellar systems. The parallelization strategy, called…

Numerical simulations of galaxy formation require a number of parameters. Some of these are intrinsic to the numerical integration scheme (eg the timestep), while others describe the physical model (eg the gas metallicity). In this paper,…

The Last Journey is a large-volume, gravity-only, cosmological N-body simulation evolving more than 1.24 trillion particles in a periodic box with a side-length of 5.025Gpc. It was implemented using the HACC simulation and analysis…

A method of adapting smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) with periodic boundary conditions for use with the special purpose device GRAPE is presented. GRAPE (GRAvity PipE) solves the Poisson and force equations for an N-body system by…

Providing initial conditions is an essential procedure for numerical simulations of galaxies. The initial conditions for idealised individual galaxies in $N$-body simulations should resemble observed galaxies and be dynamically stable for…

The new Cell processor represents a turning point for computing intensive applications. Here, I show that for molecular dynamics it is possible to reach an impressive sustained performance in excess of 30 Gflops with a peak of 45 Gflops for…

We present an implementation of the hierarchical tree algorithm on the individual timestep algorithm (the Hermite scheme) for collisional $N$-body simulations, running on GRAPE-9 system, a special-purpose hardware accelerator for…

We compare the performance of two very different parallel gravitational $N$-body codes for astrophysical simulations on large GPU clusters, both pioneer in their own fields as well as in certain mutual scales - NBODY6++ and Bonsai. We carry…

We continue our presentation of VINE. We begin with a description of relevant architectural properties of the serial and shared memory parallel computers on which VINE is intended to run, and describe their influences on the design of the…

Formation of luminous matter in the Universe is a complicated process, which includes many processes and components. It is the vastly different scales involved in the process (from star formation on few parsec scales to galaxy clusters and…

The N-body problem is a classic problem involving a system of N discrete bodies mutually interacting in a dynamical system. At any moment in time there are N*(N - 1)/2 such interactions occurring. This scaling as N^2 leads to computational…

We discuss early results from the first large N-body/hydrodynamical simulation to resolve the formation of galaxies in a cold dark matter universe. The simulation follows the formation of galaxies by gas cooling within dark halos of mass a…
