Australia is renowned for its significant contribution to great progress in observational studies of the Large and the Small Magellanic Clouds. The proposed state-of-the-art computer simulations will provide new and better understanding of the Magellanic Clouds and thus stimulate public interest, in particular, the next generation of Australian scientists. The extensive comparison between results from fastest computers and world-class telescopes will make important breakthroughs in the areas of computational astrophysics and extragalactic astronomy and thus inspire many scientists and engineers in other fields.

澳大利亚因其对大麦哲伦云观测研究的巨大进步做出的重大贡献而闻名。拟议的最先进的计算机模拟将为麦哲伦云提供新的、更好的理解，从而激发公众的兴趣，特别是下一代澳大利亚科学家的兴趣。最快的计算机和世界一流望远镜的结果之间的广泛比较将在计算天体物理学和河外天文学领域取得重要突破，从而激励其他领域的许多科学家和工程师。
