Meet the AAS Keynote Speakers: Prof. Sandra Cruz-Pol
A spectrum of radio frequencies, a spectrum of research — Prof. Sandra Cruz-Pol tells us about her exciting and interdisciplinary work, as well as the importance of diversity to her. Learn more at #AAS236!
Speeding up cosmological simulations by zooming on what’s important
Modern cosmology relies on large numerical simulations. However, creating them requires a lot of memory and computational time. Today’s paper describes a technique that can dramatically decrease the computational cost of simulations – by focusing on the most important parts of the simulation and reducing waste!
