2 The Cosmic expansion is accelerated Dark Energy Universe SimulaDon What is the nature of the Dark Energy that drives this acceleradon? Probably, the most challenging problem in Cosmology, in Physics. How can we disdnguish between DE Models?

There are numerous proposed models of dark energy!

7 How can we discriminate between all Dark Energy Models? Can Large Scale Structure secle the Dark Energy debate? New constraints on Dark Energy from Large Scale Structure FormaDon Criteria for detecdng w(z) (at z>>1) PredicDons on Large Scale Structure from alternadves to ΛCDM Large scales (linear regime) / Small Scales (non- linear regime)

RPCDM Klypin et al 2003 SUCDM RealisDc Models (DEUSS) (Alimi et al 2010) Maio et al 2006 Dolag et al 2004 Constraints on Ω m et Ω (Λ,Q) from Union SNe Ia data set (Kowalski et al 2008) Constraints on Ω b,ω CDM,σ 8 from WMAP5 (Komatsu et al 2008). Conclusion Low slope, Ω m h 2 slightly lower than in ΛCDM ΛCDM vs QCDM s: frozen vs dynamical DE RPCDM vs SUCDM: varying w(z) (/w constant)

11 RPhM: From ObservaDonal Data to Cosmological Parameters (DEUS FUR) 1 and 2σ likelihood contours in the w-ω m (top panel) and w-σ 8 (bottom panel) planes respectively. The solid lines corresponds to marginalized limits from WMAP7-yr data, while the red-yellow contours in the top panel are from the UNION dataset. The symbols corresponds to RPCDM (+), ΛCDM-W7 (x) and wcdm (o). With this choice of cosmological parameters the two non- standard dark energy models exhibit a linear growth of the density perturbadons that is specular reladve to that of the concordance model.

15 Sosware ImplementaDon - High resoludon N- Body simuladons RAMSES_DEUS: a fully threaded tree-based (Khokhlov 98) AMR code with PM solver (Teyssier, 2002) Cartesian mesh refined on a cell by cell basis octs: small grid of 8 cells, pointing towards 1 parent cell 6 neighboring parent cells 8 children octs Multigrid method for Poisson equation (Guillet & Teyssier 2011) Time integration using recursive sub-cycling Parallel compudng using the MPI library, Domain decomposidon using «space filling Peano- Hilbert curves», (Gadget) Very Good scalability up to nodes on Curie Supercomputer Memory and Communica9on op9misa9ons are crucial (DEUS FUR) Cosmological roudnes modified for Dark Energy

16 Sosware ImplementaDon OPTIMISATIONS (memory and communica9on) Efficiency of N- body/poisson solver as a funcdon of the number of MPI tasks in a weak- scaling configuradon. The reference corresponds to 74 MPI tasks. The efficiency is shown at the beginning of the run (yellow), at 1/4th (red), half (purple), 3/4th (blue) and at the end of the run (green).. The efficiency is first of the order of 60%, it falls to about 55% during a short Dme when the first refinements are triggered and finally it increases to 75%. MulDgrid acceleradon allows us to reach higher efficiencies comparadvely to the efficiency of an ideal PM- FFT code in black.

17 Sosware ImplementaDon OPTIMISATIONS Mean memory usage as a funcdon of number of MPI tasks in a weak- scaling configuradon: beginning of the run (orange), at 1/4th (red), half (purple), 3/4th (blue) and at the end of the run (green). The control of memory usage (including the one from MPI buffers) achieved at the 5% level was a key point for the success of the run.

18 Sosware ImplementaDon OPTIMISATIONS WriDng speed as a funcdon of number of MPI tasks: green is for 100 KB files, purple 1 MB, red 10 MB, yellow 100 MB, black 1 GB like in our run. This is measured using a benchmark on less than 128 nodes. Blue points correspond to the average wridng speed during the whole Full Universe Run (4752 nodes/38016 MPI tasks), and the weak scaling simuladons. The token system was tuned to saturate the bandwidth allocated for our simuladons

19 Sosware ImplementaDon OPTIMISATIONS Efficiency of programs developed to process data generated during the DEUS FUR simuladon as a funcdon of the number of MPI tasks. The efficiency obtained is sadsfactory: The computadon of the power spectrum for validadng the results of RAMSES- DEUS using the applicadon POWERGRID- DEUS is the green curve. The redistribudon of these data along the Peano- Hilbert curve in cubic spliyng by applying Slicer applicadon is the blue curve. The detecdon of massive halos by the percoladon algorithm Friends of Friends is performed by applying pfof- DEUS, its efficiency is represented by the red curve.

24 DEUS FUR The First- ever Full Observable Universe SimulaDon DEUS FUR is currently the largest and most performing dark matter simulation of the entire cosmos ever realized probing scales from 40 h -1 kpc to 21 h -1 Gpc for the ΛCDM model. The simulation has followed the self-gravitational evolution of (~550 billions) particles in a cubic volume of (21 h -1 Gpc) 3. Two additional simulations of non-standard dark energy models (W CDM and RPCDM) are progressing. This simulation has required 5 million cpu hour on cores of the Curie/Bull GENCI Supercomputer at TGCC using Go of memory. 15 Po data are generated during the three runs. Using o uroptimized chain of post-processing programs we were able to reduce these data to 1.5 Po.

25 Dark Energy Universe SimulaDon (Mass ResoluDon) EvoluDon of the number of pardcles in N- body simuladons versus Dme. D- symbols (red) are PM- AMR simuladons made by DEUS group. We can see the acceleradon in performance occurred in the last decade especially for DEUS collaboradon. Note in pardcular the posidon of the Millennium Run #10; 10 billion pardcles, box size 500 h - 1 Mpc), the recent Millenium XXL Run #12; 303 billion pardcles, box size 3 h - 1 Gpc). and the Horizon Run #13; 375 billion pardcles, box size 10.8 h - 1 Gpc). The blue line is the mean evoludon of the simuladon size from Springel et al. (2005) and the dashed blue line is Moore s Law which shows a factor 2 increase every 18 months

31 Dark Energy Universe SimulaDon: Science Challenges How DEUS (DEUSS and DEUS FUR) can be useful for ObservaDonal Projects? Which Challenges from ObservaDonal Point of View? How DEUS (DEUSS and DEUS FUR) can we help to becer understand the LSS formadon process in presence of Dark Energy? Which Challenges from TheoreDcal Point of View

32 DEUS Full Universe Run: from lightcones in redshis space to Mock catalogs. All along the simuladon we build the macer distribudon in redshis space. ParDcle and Halos are now as we observe them not as they are at a given Dme. Full sky lightcones from z=0 to z 1100, are now available. The distordon in redshis space is characterisdc of the cosmology. From lightcone we could directly compared to present and futur cosmological surveys

33 DEUS Full Universe Run: lightcones in redshis space. A very preliminary version!!! MOVIE 2 All along the simuladon we build the macer distribudon in redshis space. ParDcle and Halos are now as we observe them not as they are at a given Dme. Full sky lightcones from z=0 to z 1100, are now available. The distordon in redshis space is characterisdc of the cosmology. From lightcone we could directly compared to present and futur cosmological surveys

34 DEUS: Imprints of Dark Energy on the non- linear macer power spectrum EvoluDon of the non- linear power spectrum in quintessence cosmologies reladve to the ΛCDM case Alimi et al., DEUS ConsorDum, MNRAS 401, 775 (2010). RaDo of the non- linear power spectrum reladve to linear predicdon for the different cosmologies as a measurement of the evoludon of non- linearity in the gravitadonal collapse.

35 DEUS: Imprints of Dark Energy on the non- linear macer power spectrum Alimi et al., DEUS ConsorDum, MNRAS 401, 775 (2010). Non- linearides are different for each models. The deviadons at high k of the power spectrum are correlated with the linear growth history

36 DEUS : Anomalous cosmic flow, a challenge for ΛCDM Numerous DEUS Challenges: From TheoreDcal Point of View (2) Abnormal ObservaDonal signal on Bulk Flow in velocity surveys (Watkins et al 2008, Feldman et al 2008, Lavaux et al 2009 (2MRS survey (redshis survey) ) High deviadon from linear predicdons. Mean of the (peculiar) velocity fields present in a sphere of radius R centered on the Milky Way Is this signal a cosmological one or is it an unlikely event? Is (Λ)Cold Dark Macer Scenario ruled out?

37 DEUS : Anomalous cosmic flow, a challenge for ΛCDM For gaussian inidal condidons, is such a V bulk possible? Is it not a rare event? As a first approximadon, we can characterize the Watkins curve by two data points: depledon at 16 h - 1 Mpc and bump at 53 h - 1 Mpc. We then compute the Probability to get such a event from inidal condidon stadsdcs. Strong correladon between scales R16 and R53, M is the correladon matrix containing non- diagonal terms, (tail of a 2D maxwellian). P 1.4 % Watkins V bulk could be a rare event realizadon in ΛCDM!

38 DEUS : Anomalous cosmic flow, a challenge for ΛCDM DEUS: ΛCDM- WMAP5, pardcles, 648 h - 1 Mpc. From random centers (environments) Using Watkins observadonal data points: We isolate an observadonal- like sample at 95% (χ 2 analysis done on all observadonal 10 data points) : 255 out of Rare events (P 1.3%) in (very good) agreement with the previous esdmadon.

39 DEUS : Anomalous cosmic flow, a challenge for ΛCDM Watkins Bulk Flows Numerical Catalog (255) σ(r) in good agreement with linear predicdons V Bulk (R) seems to diverge from the linear prediction. But V Bulk (R) is directional To solve this ContradicDon. What is the Dynamical Origin of Bulk Flow?

40 DEUS : Anomalous cosmic flow, a challenge for ΛCDM We suppose such a Watkins event, What is the Dynamical Origin of Bulk Flow? DirecDonality suggests an asymmetry in macer distribudon. We then qualitadvely study the direcdon of the bulk flow versus the direcdon of the center of mass; For a Watkins Numerical event, Mollweide projecdon (53 h - 1 Mpc) Clearly dis9nct direc9on

41 DEUS : Anomalous cosmic flow, a challenge for ΛCDM We suppose such a Watkins event, What is the Dynamical Origin of Bulk Flow? DirecDonality suggests an asymmetry in macer distribudon. We then qualitadvely study the direcdon of the bulk flow versus the direcdon of the center of mass; For a Watkins Numerical event, Mollweide projecdon at larger scale (85 h - 1 Mpc) Clearly similar direc9on

42 DEUS : Anomalous cosmic flow, a challenge for ΛCDM What is the Dynamical Origin of Bulk Flow? We compare the mean C (R) for the complete Watkins bulk flow numerical catalog and for the Linear bulk flow numerical catalog: Which scales shows an alignment between the direcdon of asymmetry in a shell and the direcdon of the Bulk Flow at 53 h - 1 Mpc? ~ 85 h - 1 Mpc (bump) ~ 55 h - 1 Mpc (depledon) V Bulk (53h 1 Mpc). ( C (R + dr) C (R)) Alignment scale at ~ 85 h -1 Mpc (85 = )

43 DEUS : Anomalous cosmic flow, a challenge for ΛCDM What is the Dynamical Origin of Bulk Flow? For all events from the complete Watkins bulk flow numerical catalog, we compute the scalar product of the bulk flow at radius R with the direcdon of the asymmetry in spheres of radius R+32 V Bulk (R). C (R + 32h 1 Mpc) Alignment scale from 53 h - 1 Mpc.

44 DEUS : Anomalous cosmic flow, a challenge for ΛCDM V Bulk (R,z) = V Bulk (R,0) = We confirm that V bulk is a linear quan9ty even for such a rare event. Its evolu9on sa9sfies the linear evolu9on, idem for the asymmetry factor ( H(z) f(z) ) 2 P δ (k,z) W 2 (kr)dk ( H(0) f(0) ) 2 P δ (k,0) W 2 (kr)dk V bulk (R,z) = P δ (k,z) = H(z) f (z)d + (z) V H(0) f (0)D + (0) bulk (R,0) D + (z) D + (0) 2 P δ (k,0) V bulk (R,z) C (R,z)

45 DEUS : Anomalous cosmic flow, a challenge for ΛCDM Where is the cosmology? Likelihood analysis on the Vbulk data for the Watkins Bulk Flow catalog (R 53 h -1 Mpc and R 130 h - 1 Mpc) Wrong cosmological parameters (R 53 h - 1 Mpc). Correct cosmological parameters (R=130 h - 1 Mpc).

46 DEUS : Anomalous cosmic flow, a challenge for ΛCDM Watkins Bulk Flow observadons can be seen as a rare event. Dynamical origin of such a high Bulk Flow comes from an asymmetry of the macer at higher scales. There is no contradicdon with linear predicdon in (Λ)CDM How the mean value of the linear predicdon is recovered at higher scales should (could) be a signature of the Cosmology.
