Simulating the Magellanic system using new special-purpose computers for gravitational dynamics

澳大利亚以其对大麦哲伦云和小麦哲伦云观测研究的巨大进展所作的重大贡献而闻名。拟议的最先进的计算机模拟将提供对麦哲伦云的新的和更好的了解，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。将最快的计算机和世界级望远镜的结果进行广泛比较，将在计算天体物理学和河外天文学领域取得重大突破，从而激励其他领域的许多科学家和工程师。

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.
