Led by the US Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, the ExaStar project is working to deliver an exascale application for stellar explosions, including supernovae and neutron star mergers, as part of the DOE’s Exascale Computing Project (ECP). Such simulations will help scientists explain the origin of elements heavier than iron in the universe and answer other fundamental physics questions, such as the source of gravitational waves and the behavior of matter at extreme densities.
