Please visit the linked sites for more information about the projects and about the appreciated form of acknowledgment/credits, if the data is used in a scientific publication or proposal.The MultiDark and Bolshoi simulations were run on the NASA's Pleiades supercomputer at the NASA Ames Research Center.
The MultiDark-Planck (MDPL) and the BigMD simulation suite have been performed in the Supermuc supercomputer at LRZ using time granted by PRACE.
The CLUES simulations were performed using the supercomputing facilities at LRZ Munich, BSC Barcelona and JSC Jülich.
