Supercomputing Neutron Star Structures and Mergers

Over at XSEDE, Kimberly Mann Bruch & Jan Zverina from the San Diego Supercomputer Center write that researchers are using supercomputers to create detailed simulations of neutron star structures and mergers to better understand gravitational waves, which were detected for the first time in 2015. "XSEDE resources significantly accelerated our scientific output," noted Paschalidis, whose group has been using XSEDE for well over a decade, when they were students or post-doctoral researchers. "If I were to put a number on it, I would say that using XSEDE accelerated our research by a factor of three or more, compared to using local resources alone."
