High performance astrophysics computing
  The application of high end computing to astrophysical problems, mainly in
the galactic environment, is under development since many years at the Dep. of
Physics of Sapienza Univ. of Roma. The main scientific topic is the physics of
self gravitating systems, whose specific subtopics are: i) celestial mechanics
and interplanetary probe transfers in the solar system; ii) dynamics of
globular clusters and of globular cluster systems in their parent galaxies;
iii) nuclear clusters formation and evolution; iv) massive black hole formation
and evolution; v) young star cluster early evolution. In this poster we
describe the software and hardware computational resources available in our
group and how we are developing both software and hardware to reach the
scientific aims above itemized.
