Use of Hoffman2 Cluster
Advanced research has moved beyond the capacity of a single computer to perform detailed multi-level simulations, data analysis, and large-scale computations.
Due to growing complexity and requirements for sheer computational horsepower, these needs are increasingly met with tightly integrated cluster systems consisting of hundreds to hundreds of thousands of processors, terabytes to petabytes of high-performance storage, and high bandwidth/low latency interconnects consuming megawatts of power. In addition to the need for powerful hardware, the software that runs on these systems must be written to take advantage of the computational power available on a particular system.

Using the Hoffman2 Cluster to Model Dark Matter Subhalos
Standard cosmological models predict that thousands of low-mass, invisible dark matter clumps—or subhalos—cluster around massive galaxies. Because these...
