So the obvious two steps are: 1. Generating - point clouds and 2. simulating the pointclouds that we generated. </p> - <p>This all started when Tim Tugendhat invited me to Heidelberg to help visualize the NFW-function. - After we made som visualizations, we started generating our own clusters using the - <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navarro%E2%80%93Frenk%E2%80%93White_profile">Navarro Frenk White - profile</a>. That was so much fun that I quickly started generating more and more stars and optimized - the complete process. - </p> - <p> - I then started to think about stuff to do with the millions of stars I generated and realized that - Simulating the clusters would be a very hard, but informative task to learn new skills. - </p> - </div> - </div> - <!-- /.row --> - - <!-- Generating using the NFW profile --> - <div class="row"> - <div class="col-lg-9"> - <h2 id="generating">Generating the pointclouds</h2> - <p> - In the aftermath, generating the pointclouds was one of the easier parts of the project. - A detailed summary on how the stars are generated can be found in the - <a href="http://writeup.emile.space">writeup</a>. - </p> - <p> - The process short version can be explained in the following way: Create a star, test if it should be kept - or not, keep it if yes and repeat the process if not. The Process is repeated few thousand times and in the - end, a clusted of objects apears on the screen. - The <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navarro%E2%80%93Frenk%E2%80%93White_profile">Navarro Frenk White - profile</a> is used to determine what star is kept and what star is discarded. - </p> - <p> - Using this technique, a lot of stars can be generated, and because of all the computations running - independently, this whole process scales very well. After containerizing the software generating random - stars and sorting "bad ones" out, it can be thrown onto a cluster of computers who generate stars 24/7 - </p> - </div> - <div class="col-lg-3"> - <img class="img-fluid rounded mb-4" src="images/pointcloud_400x600.png" alt=""> - </div> - </div> - <!-- /.row --> - - </div> - - <!-- Footer --> - <footer class="page-footer font-small blue"> - - <!-- Copyright --> - <div class="footer-copyright text-center py-3">Est. 2018: - <a href="https://mdbootstrap.com/education/bootstrap/">emile.space</a> - </div> - <!-- Copyright --> - - </footer> - <!-- Footer --> - - <!-- Bootstrap core JavaScript --> - <script src="vendor/jquery/jquery.min.js"></script> - <script src="vendor/bootstrap/js/bootstrap.bundle.min.js"></script> - - </body> - -</html> |
