and Gill, Knebe & Gibson 2004: The evolution of substructure – I. A new identification method - BDM: Klypin & Holtzman 1997: Particle-Mesh code for cosmological simulations
Please note that the BDM code used for producing the data in this database was improved a lot since 1997. For details please contact the author (Anatoly Klypin) directly. - FOF: Knebe et al. 2011: Halos gone MAD: The Halo-Finder Comparison Project

Software
Some of the main components of the software that work in the background (and also at the front) to serve the data to you is listed below. All the software is released as open source!
- Django Daiquiri web application, uses the Django framework
- PostgresQL 14.5
For ingesting data into the database, we developed and use:
- DBIngestor library (C++)
- AsciiIngest, uses the DBIngestor library, allows to upload any kind of ascii data using format files to map between data types
- FofIngest and PmssIngest, use the DBIngestor library for uploading FOF binary files (FOF catalog) and PMss binary files (ART format for particles) directly into database tables
