We demonstrate the acceleration obtained from using GPU/CPU hybrid clusters and supercomputers for N-body simulations of gravity based in part on the author’s new code development. Validation tests are shown for cosmological simulations and for galaxy simulations, along with their respective speedups compared to traditional simulations. Potential new applications for science enabled by this advance are highlighted.
