Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNPSE,volume 4192))

Abstract

Gadget-2 is a massively parallel structure formation code for cosmological simulations. In this paper, we present a Java version of Gadget-2. We evaluated the performance of the Java version by running colliding galaxies simulation and found that it can achieve around 70% of C Gadget-2’s performance.
