Exploring Secrets of the Dark Universe

Zoom-in of the matter density field showing the complexity of cosmological structure formation as resolved in a 68-billion-particle simulation carried out on the early access Blue Gene/Q system at the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility. The simulation is based around the new HACC (Hardware/Hybrid Accelerated Cosmology Code) framework aimed at exploiting emerging supercomputer architectures such as the Blue Gene/Q.
