S CALES OF THE UNIVERSE By : Loyiso Matyumza Supervisors: Mr Reg Dodds Prof. Catherine Cress

I NTRODUCTION Where do we come from? Scales of the Universe The project is inspired by a short film Powers of Ten created by Charles and Ray Eames in IBM Orders of magnitude (factors of ten)

S YSTEM REQUIREMENTS Create a short video to help gain a sense of the entire Universe To present the images covering the entire earth, the stars of our galaxy, the Milky Way, and beyond A high resolution video that is informative and enjoyable to watch.

S YSTEM REQUIREMENTS Catherine CressUse a software package to produce simulations of galaxy evolution Visualizing the astronomical data sets Reg DoddsBe able to manipulate the simulated sets data using image processing Using orders of magnitude zooming in and out in factors of 10

R EQUIREMENTS ANALYSIS We attempt to examine universe in orders of magnitude from to Zooming from the Centre of High Performance Computing (CHPC) the Earth orbit to the Solar system, to our own galaxy out to the observable Universe We highlight the significant astronomical objects of our interest. We zoom in back to the CHPC then we start zooming in the inside of computer hardware, boards, microchip, silicon atom and the nucleus.

T OOLS TO BE USED Computer simulation and high performance computing Hardware Sun Hapertown Intel Xeon Processor 3.0Ghz 384 cores 430TB storage Software GADGET-2 code OpenMPI Visualization software OpenCV C++ programming
