    High performance computing is now essential in research, even for the most fundamental sciences. In particle physics, the forces that bind the quark together are so strong that non-perturbative methods are required. The only way to define the theory properly is through numerical simulations, called lattice QCD (Quantum Chromo Dynamics is the theory of the strong nuclear interaction). Lattice...

  5. 3. Gravitational waves, numerical relativity, and measuring black holes
    Prof. Mark Hannam (Cardiff University)
    08/09/2016, 12:15
    The recent first direct detection of gravitational waves relied on accurate theoretical models of the signals produced by colliding black holes. Current models were tuned to numerical solutions of Einstein's equations for the last orbits and merger of two black holes, and a large number of follow-up numerical-relativity simulations were performed to cross-check the results and test for...
