Resources from XSEDE Were Used to Develop Components That Would serve as the Basis for Illustris (IMAGE)
Caption
An international team of researchers used resources from XSEDE to develop components that would serve as the basis for "Illustris," the most ambitious simulation of galaxy formation ever done. The project is described in a paper published on May 8, 2014, in the journal Nature. Here, a large-scale view of the simulation volume, centered on the most massive galaxy cluster in the simulation at the present cosmic time. Dark matter density is shown in blue and purple, and the velocity of normal matter (gas) is shown in red and orange.
