ABSTRACT:
Computing the Universe From Big Bang to Stars The movie Computing The Universe was performed in August 2011 at IRFU, the Research Institute on Fundamental Laws of the Universe, a CEA institute at Saclay, France. The movie, produced also in stereoscopic version, shows to the general public the results of the numerical simulations in astrophysics produced by the COAST project team; the team involves astrophysicists and computing science engineers, in particular for the visualization part. These results are produced after some weeks of calculation on the thousands of processors in parallel of supercomputers. Results are published in international astrophysics journals but the visualization of these data always creates a big enthusiasm in the general public. Scenario: The movie follows a logic of decreasing sizes of astronomical phenomena and includes five parts: -Cosmology -Galaxies formation -Interstellar Medium -Magnetism of the Sun -Supernovae Remnants
