ngravs: Distinct gravitational interactions in gadget-2
نویسنده
چکیده
We discuss an extension of the massively parallel cosmological simulation code gadget-2, which now enables investigation of multiple and distinct gravitational force laws, provided they are dominated by a constant scaling of the Newtonian force. In addition to simplifying investigations of a universally modified force law, the ngravs extension provides a foundation for state-of-the-art collisionless cosmological simulations of exotic gravitational scenarios. We briefly review the algorithms used by gadget-2, and present our extension to multiple gravities, highlighting additional features that facilitate consideration of exotic force laws. We discuss the accuracy and performance of the ngravs extension, both internally and with an unaltered gadget-2, in the relevant operational modes. The ngravs extension is publicly released to the research community.

Tree–Particle–Mesh: an adaptive, efficient, and parallel code for collisionless cosmological simulation
An improved implementation of an N-body code for simulating collisionless cosmological dynamics is presented. TPM (Tree–Particle–Mesh) combines the PM method on large scales with a tree code to handle particle-particle interactions at small separations. After the global PM forces are calculated, spatially distinct regions above a given density contrast are located; the tree code calculates the ...
متن کاملGADGET: A code for collisionless and gasdynamical cosmological simulations
We describe the newly written code GADGET which is suitable both for cosmological simulations of structure formation and for the simulation of interacting galaxies. GADGET evolves self-gravitating collisionless fluids with the traditional N-body approach, and a collisional gas by smoothed particle hydrodynamics. Along with the serial version of the code, we discuss a parallel version that has b...
متن کاملNumerical Simulations of the Lyman-α forest – A comparison of Gadget-2 and Enzo
We compare simulations of the Lyman-α forest performed with two different hydrodynamical codes, Gadget-2 and Enzo. A comparison of the dark matter power spectrum for simulations run with identical initial conditions show differences of 1-3% at the scales relevant for quantitative studies of the Lyman-α forest. This allows a meaningful comparison of the effect of the different implementations of...
متن کاملDwarf Frankenstein is still in your memory: tiny code reuse attacks
Code reuse attacks such as return oriented programming and jump oriented programming are the most popular exploitation methods among attackers. A large number of practical and non-practical defenses are proposed that differ in their overhead, the source code requirement, detection rate and implementation dependencies. However, a usual aspect among these methods is consideration of the common be...
متن کاملThe cosmological simulation code GADGET - 2
We discuss the cosmological simulation code GADGET-2, a new massively parallel TreeSPH code, capable of following a collisionless fluid with the N-body method, and an ideal gas by means of smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH). Our implementation of SPH manifestly conserves energy and entropy in regions free of dissipation, while allowing for fully adaptive smoothing lengths. Gravitational forc...
