Performance Characteristics of TreePM codes
read the original abstract
We present a detailed analysis of the error budget for the TreePM method for doing cosmological N-Body simulations. It is shown that the choice of filter for splitting the inverse square force into short and long range components suggested in Bagla (2002) is close to optimum. We show that the error in the long range component of the force contributes very little to the total error in force. Errors introduced by the tree approximation for the short range force are different from those for the inverse square force, and these errors dominate the total error in force. We calculate the distribution function for error in force for clustered and unclustered particle distributions. This gives an idea of the error in realistic situations for different choices of parameters of the TreePM algorithm. We test the code by simulating a few power law models and checking for scale invariance.

FLAMINGO: The thermal history of the Universe from tSZ effect cross-correlations and its dependencies on cosmology and baryon physics
FLAMINGO simulations show tSZ cross-correlations scale as S8 to the power of about 3 and favor low S8=0.72 with strong feedback when compared to SDSS, BOSS, DES, and Planck data.

FLAMINGO: The thermal history of the Universe from tSZ effect cross-correlations and its dependencies on cosmology and baryon physics
tSZ cross-correlations with large-scale structure tracers prefer low S8 and strong baryonic feedback, yielding S8 = 0.72 and low group baryon fraction in FLAMINGO simulations.

Introducing the Lumina project: large-volume radiation-hydrodynamic simulations of the epochs of hydrogen and helium reionization
Lumina runs a 500 cMpc radiation-hydrodynamic simulation combining IllustrisTNG galaxy formation with six-bin M1 radiation transport to predict late stellar-driven HI reionization ending around z=4.75 and AGN-driven H...

The Lumina Project: CMB Optical Depth Fluctuations from Patchy Reionization
The Lumina simulation shows that explicit light-cone integrations produce a CMB optical depth 7% higher than volume-weighted ionization histories, with the excess accumulating near redshift 8 and mass-weighted estimat...
