    trying to collect references on the state-of-the-art of computer simiulations on cosmic structure formations. Will try to expand as I find more…

    added a bit more and re-structured a little.

    One would think the main point that the reviews of the computer simulations would highlight is to which extend the simulation matches observation, and what the discrepancies are that remain to be explained. But I have trouble finding much about this (there is this quote) among plenty discussion of how many CPU cores have been used. (A common laymen pitfall when computer simulations enter research, but here with big international collaborations?)

    But then, I haven’t really spent that much time searching around. If anyone has better pointers, please let me know.

    ah, Springel 13 is the kind of quick but substantial review that I was hoping for
