China created the world's largest virtual universe with supercomputers

In the near future, the formation and development of the universe will be fully understood by scientists through supercomputers .

Chinese scientists have succeeded in creating the world's largest virtual universe, using the fastest Taihu supercomputer on the planet. This is a supercomputer entirely researched and manufactured by Chinese people and has the most massive speed in the world today.

Experts say China is making the most of the computing power of supercomputers. Compared to many other countries, the capacity of Chinese supercomputers far exceeds several years. Researchers hope that in the next 3 years, China will master the technology and know exactly the process of birth of the vast universe thanks to this supercomputer.

Combining the world's fastest supercomputer with other scientific achievements helps Chinese scientists better understand the world and the universe. For example, they can use this supercomputer and the world's largest radio telescope to explore the universe.

By simulating the universe in supercomputers, scientists easily eliminate unnecessary areas to direct the telescope to the right place.

Understanding the process of forming the universe is still a big challenge for scientists.

Cao Luong, head of the space research team at the National Astronomical Observatory, said that simulating the formation and development of the universe took up to 10 trillion 'pieces' of data. The scale of this project is five times larger than the latest research published by the team at the University of Zurich, Switzerland last month.

The project of the 80-hour simulated European scientists is only maintained for more than 1 hour.'There are too many calculations at once. Perhaps supercomputers are also tired , "Cao said.

Professor Cao explained that Thai Ho supercomputer uses 10 million CPU cores, each using its own programming to ensure optimal computational speed.

In astronomy, scientists simulate the universe by dividing it into equal parts. These "pieces" interact with each other by physical forces such as gravity. The more pieces are inserted, the more accurately scientists calculate the formation of the universe. This process will help clarify many of the unanswered problems in nature and dark matter.

The calculation process using simulation 'piece' increased significantly over time. In 1970, the best computer at that time counted only about 1,000 'pieces'. Today, scientists can simulate trillions of 'fragments' with supercomputers like Titan of America or Tianhe-2 located in Guangzhou (China).
