Besides using computers and related resources at the NASA Ames Research Center and the Leibniz-Rechenzentrum in Garching, Germany, the research team used the High-Performance Computing cluster at the University of Arizona. Two-thousand processors simultaneously processed the data over three weeks. In this way, the research team generated over 8 million universes, and at least 9.6 × 10 galaxies. The UniverseMachine program continuously produced millions of simulated universes, each containing 12 million galaxies, and each permitted to develop from 400 million years after the Big Bang to the present day.
