Dancing with black holes

We describe efforts over the last six years to implement regularization methods suitable for studying one or more interacting black holes by direct N-body simulations. Three different methods have been adapted to large-N systems: (i) Time-Transformed Leapfrog, (ii) Wheel-Spoke, and (iii) Algorithmic Regularization. These methods have been tried out with some success on GRAPE-type computers. Spe...

The technologies that make this possible are those of miniaturized electronics, digital communications, inexpensive distributed computation, and advanced control software. They enable us to get rid of most of the junk that currently encumbers automobiles – engines, power trains, dashboards, and steering wheels. They allow us to define a fundamentally new, radically restructured architecture for...

(A. Smith 1980, 207) Introduction "Ontology" is a term increasingly used in all areas of computer and information science to denote...
