High-Performance Computing
The supercomputers on which astronomers run the largest cosmological simulations and process survey data at scale. By dividing a problem across thousands of tightly-coupled processors, high-performance computing makes it possible to model the growth of cosmic structure or the collision of neutron stars from first principles.
