摘要

This work describes research done by the MilkyWay@Home project to use N-Body simulations to model the formation of the Milky Way Galaxy's halo. While there have been previous efforts to use N-Body simulations to perform astronomical modeling, to our knowledge this is the first to use evolutionary algorithms to discover the initial parameters to the N-Body simulations so that they accurately model astronomical data. Performing a single 32,000 body simulation can take up to 200 hours on a typical processor, with an average of 15 hours. As optimizing the input parameters to these N-Body simulations typically takes at least 30,000 or more simulations, this work is made possible by utilizing the computing power of the 35,000 volunteered hosts at the MilkyWay@Home project, which are currently providing around 800 teraFLOPS. This work also describes improvements to an open-source framework for generic distributed optimization (FGDO), which provide more efficient validation in performing these evolutionary algorithms in conjunction the Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC).
