Title: Verification of the time evolution of cosmological simulations via hypothesis-driven comparative and quantitative visualization

Conference ·

We describe a visualization assisted process for the verification of cosmological simulation codes. The need for code verification stems from the requirement for very accurate predictions in order to interpret observational data confidently. We compare different simulation algorithms in order to reliably predict differences in simulation results and understand their dependence on input parameter settings.
