Binaries in Globular Clusters
S. L. W. McMillan, C. Pryor, E. S. Phinney
Binary stars play a critical role in determining both the dynamical evolution and the observational appearance of globular star clusters. We present a summary of three talks presen…
Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics: Models, Applications, and Enabling Technologies
Piet Hut, Lars Hernquist, George Lake +3
We present the results from a two-day study in which we discussed various implementations of Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH), one of the leading methods used across a variety o…
Gravitational Thermodynamics
Piet Hut
The gravitational N-body problem, for , is the oldest unsolved problem in mathematical physics. Some of the most ideal examples that can be found in nature are globular star c…
The GRAPE-4, a Teraflops Stellar Dynamics Computer
Piet Hut
Recently, special-purpose computers have surpassed general-purpose computers in the speed with which large-scale stellar dynamics simulations can be performed. Speeds up to a Teraf…
Time Symmetrization Meta-Algorithms
Piet Hut, Yoko Funato, Eiichiro Kokubo +2
We present two types of meta-algorithm that can greatly improve the accuracy of existing algorithms for integrating the equations of motion of dynamical systems. The first meta-alg…
GRAPE-6: A Petaflops Prototype
Piet Hut, Jeffrey M. Arnold, Junichiro Makino +2
We present the outline of a research project aimed at designing and constructing a hybrid computing system that can be easily scaled up to petaflops speeds. As a first step, we env…
