A new Monte Carlo code for star cluster simulations: II. Central black hole and stellar collisions
We have recently written a new code to simulate the long term evolution of spherical clusters of stars. It is based on the pioneering Monte Carlo scheme proposed by Hénon in the 70’s. Unlike other implementations of this numerical method which were successfully used to investigate the dynamics of globular clusters, our code has been devised in the specific goal to treat dense galactic nuclei. I...
متن کاملA new Monte Carlo code for star cluster simulations I. Relaxation
We have developed a new simulation code aimed at studying the stellar dynamics of a galactic central star cluster surrounding a massive black hole. In order to include all the relevant physical ingredients (2-body relaxation, stellar mass spectrum, collisions, tidal disruption, . . . ), we chose to revive a numerical scheme pioneered by Hénon in the 70’s (Hénon 1971b,a; Hénon 1973. It is basica...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Simulations of Globular Cluster Dynamics
We have developed a new parallel supercomputer code based on Hénon’s Monte Carlo method for simulating the dynamical evolution of globular clusters. This new code allows us to calculate the evolution of a cluster containing a realistic number of stars (N ∼ 10 − 10) in about a day of computing time. The discrete, star-by-star representation of the cluster in the simulation allows us to treat nat...
متن کاملNew Physical Principle for Monte-Carlo simulations
Abstract: New physical principle for Monte-Carlo simulations has been introduced. It is based upon coupling of dynamical equations and the corresponding Liouville equation. The proposed approach does not require a random number generator since randomness is generated by instability of dynamics triggered and controlled by the feedback from the Liouville equation. Direct simulation of evolutionar...
متن کاملGenerative Code Specialisation for High-Performance Monte-Carlo Simulations
We address the tension between software generality and performance in the domain of scientific and financial simulations based on Monte-Carlo methods. To this end, we present a novel software architecture, centred around the concept of a specialising simulator generator, that combines and extends methods from generative programming, partial evaluation, runtime code generation, and dynamic code ...
