Simulating The Universe with Supercomputers
Supercomputer simulations of the Universe are a huge part of modern astronomy. In this interview with Dr Andrew Pontzen we discuss, how exactly are these simulations done, what's the future of this industry, how it will shape the James Webb era and is it possible that we live in a simulation after all.

Great interview. Wonder what languages are used for these simulations. C++ perhaps for the high performance parts? What are the languages that run on those graphics cards.
