    Abstract

    We report on the performance of our cold-dark matter cosmological N-body
    simulation which was carried out concurrently using supercomputers across the
    globe. We ran simulations on 60 to 750 cores distributed over a variety of
    supercomputers in Amsterdam (the Netherlands, Europe), in Tokyo (Japan, Asia),
    Edinburgh (UK, Europe) and Espoo (Finland, Europe). Regardless the network
    latency of 0.32 seconds and the communication over 30.000 km of optical network
    cable we are able to achieve about 87% of the performance compared to an equal
    number of cores on a single supercomputer.
