Scientists create laptop tool to simulate universe structure
Researchers at the University of Waterloo have developed Effort.jl, a new tool that allows scientists to simulate the universe's large-scale structure using just a laptop. This innovation reduces computation time from days on supercomputers to hours, enabling faster analysis of vast cosmic datasets. The tool emulates complex models like the Effective Field Theory of Large-Scale Structure (EFTofLSS).
