SEMINAR:
  HPC Seminar: Why HPC is crucial to understanding how galaxies form
		
Wed, 26 Jun 2013 13:00 - G41 Seminar Room, Ground Floor, International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research,  Ken & Julie Michael Building (658), Crawley
		
A/Prof Chris Power
Supercomputer simulations have played a transformative role over the
last 30 years in establishing the paradigms of the growth of cosmic
structure and galaxy formation. Theoretically they allow us to tackle
problems that are otherwise intractable analytically, such as predicting
the structure of the cosmic web and the internal properties of galaxies.
Observationally they allow us to build virtual universes that allow us
to interpret the results of large galaxy surveys. I'll review what goes
into one of these simulations, explaining why and how supercomputers
have proven to be crucial. I'll also highlight key predictions from
simulations and identify areas where more work is needed as we enter the
era of SKA-science.
