摘要
The GRAPE-4 the world's fastest computer in 1995-1997, has produced some major scientific results through a wide diversity of large-scale simulations in astrophysics. I Applications have included planetary formation, the evolution of star clusters and galactic nuclei, and the formation of galaxies and clusters of galaxies.
