A simulated sky image of galaxies produced by running Argonne-developed high-performance computing codes and then running a galaxy formation model. Argonne has collaborated with the University of Illinois, teaming up two supercomputers to perform simulation and data analysis of extremely large-scale, computationally intensive models of the universe.

Dark matter halo distribution from the Outer Rim simulation carried out on 32 racks of Mira with the Hardware/Hybrid Accelerated Cosmology Code (HACC). Shown is the full simulation volume with halos above a certain mass cut. The halos are colored by mass, the heavier halos are shown in red. These halos host the galaxies that we observe with large telescopes.
