What is this all about?

+

+ The Goal of this complete project is to simulate galaxies. So the obvious two steps are: 1. Generating + point clouds and 2. simulating the pointclouds that we generated.

+

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 + Navarro Frenk White + profile. That was so much fun that I quickly started generating more and more stars and optimized + the complete process. +

+

+ 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. +

+
+
+ + + +
+
+

Generating the pointclouds

+

+ 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 + writeup. +

+

+ 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 Navarro Frenk White + profile is used to determine what star is kept and what star is discarded. +

+

+ 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 +
