Hybrid Accelerated Cosmology Code - 360

Hybrid Accelerated Cosmology Code (HACC) simulation of dark matter in the universe that was run at Argonne National Laboratory's Leadership Computing Facility (ALCF). This movie shows a tiny piece of one of the largest cosmological simulations runs so far. The visualization shows the output from one MPI rank (out of 262,144 total). The simulation is being used for multiple purposes, including synthetic galaxy catalogs for cosmological surveys, simulations of gravitational lensing, and detailed tracking of halos within which galaxies form.
