    The pursuit of the whole NChilada: Virtual petaflops using multi-adaptive algorithms for gravitational systems
    (IBM, 2004) Lake, G.; Quinn, T.; Richardson, D. C.; Stadel, J.
    We describe the keys to meeting the challenges of N-body simulation: adaptive potential solvers, adaptive integration, and volume renormalization. With these techniques and a dedicated teraflop facility, simulation can keep pace with observations of the universe. We also describe some problems in simulating the formation and stability of planetary systems.
