====== Ein Supercomputer für das Universum ======
The Zurich Student Newspaper published a [[http://zs-online.ch/ein-supercomputer-fuer-das-universum/|recent article (in German)]] about our
supercomputing activities here at the Institute for Computational Science.

//We don't really calculate the trajectories of satellites//, rather we are quantifying the end-to-end performance of the [[https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclid_(spacecraft)|Euclid (2022) space telescope]] at measuring the effect of dark energy in the Universe. This involves producing a virtual universe from computer simulations that matches as closely as possible the real Universe. We use both the national supercomputer in Lugano ([[https://www.cscs.ch/|CSCS]]) as well as our [[zbox:zbox4|own in-house clusters]] in order to do this. The article describes a bit what it means to be a **Computational Scientist** in the field of astrophysics.
