摘要:

宇宙学N体模拟是当今计算量最大的工作之一。一个关键的挑战是分析数十亿个紧凑的粒子团簇(称为晕)的结构、子结构和合并历史。有效地表示合并的历史晕是必不可少的许多星系形成模型用于生成合成天表,现代宇宙学模拟的一个重要应用。生成真实的模拟目录需要从模拟中计算大量的晕形成历史,并在许多时间步长内产生数十亿个晕,需要数百TB的分析数据。我们提出了快速并行算法产生晕合并树和跟踪晕子结构从一个单级,基于密度的聚类算法。合并树是通过分析相邻快照中的晕粒子隶属函数来创建的,子结构是通过跟踪合并晕的"核心"--靠近晕中心的粒子集来识别的。核心跟踪在创建合并树之后执行,并使用在树构造期间发现的关系将子结构与主机相关联。这些算法是用MPI实现的,并在Cray XK7超级计算机上进行了评估,使用了来自现代宇宙学模拟框架HACC的多达16,384个过程。我们目前的结果创建合并树从101个分析快照从Q连续体,大体积,高质量分辨率,宇宙学模拟进化的半万亿粒子。

英文摘要:

Cosmological N-body simulations rank among the most computationally intensive efforts today. A key challenge is the analysis of structure, substructure, and the merger history for many billions of compact particle clusters, called halos. Effectively representing the merging history of halos is essential for many galaxy formation models used to generate synthetic sky catalogs, an important application of modern cosmological simulations. Generating realistic mock catalogs requires computing the halo formation history from simulations with large volumes and billions of halos over many time steps, taking hundreds of terabytes of analysis data. We present fast parallel algorithms for producing halo merger trees and tracking halo substructure from a single-level, density-based clustering algorithm. Merger trees are created from analyzing the halo-particle membership function in adjacent snapshots, and substructure is identified by tracking the "cores" of merging halos -- sets of particles near the halo center. Core tracking is performed after creating merger trees and uses the relationships found during tree construction to associate substructures with hosts. The algorithms are implemented with MPI and evaluated on a Cray XK7 supercomputer using up to 16,384 processes on data from HACC, a modern cosmological simulation framework. We present results for creating merger trees from 101 analysis snapshots taken from the Q Continuum, a large volume, high mass resolution, cosmological simulation evolving half a trillion particles.
