Physicists used the Globus Toolkit and MPICH-G2 to harness the power of multiple supercomputers to simulate the gravitational effects of black hole collisions. The team, which included researchers from Argonne National Laboratory, the University of Chicago, Northern Illinois University, and the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics in Germany, was awarded a prestigious Gordon Bell prize for its work.
