« Perfectly parallel cosmological simulations using spatial comoving Lagrangian acceleration »

Florent Leclercq
Department of Physics, Imperial College (Londres, Royaume-Uni)

I will introduce a new, perfectly parallel approach to simulate cosmic structure formation, based on the spatial COmoving Lagrangian Acceleration (sCOLA) framework. Building upon a hybrid analytical and numerical description of particles' trajectories, sCOLA allows an efficient tiling of a cosmological volume, where the dynamics within each tile is computed independently. I will show that cosmological simulations at the degree of accuracy required for the analysis of the next generation of surveys can be run in drastically reduced wall-clock times and with very low memory requirements, and discuss perspectives for computing future larger and higher-resolution cosmological simulations, taking advantage of a variety of hardware architectures.
