"This was made possible by the Hazel Hen supercomputer in Stuttgart, where 16,000 cores worked together for more than a year – the longest and most resource-intensive simulation to date. The simulation itself consists of a cube of space measuring more than 230 million light-years in diameter that contains more than 20 billion particles representing dark matter, stars, cosmic gas, magnetic fields, and supermassive black holes (SMBHs).

Of course they stop the shown simulation right before a major merger looks like it is going to happen lol cool find I wonder whether hey hard programed the SMBH r let them evolve naturally based on the article I presume the prior simulation trade offs and all and too many different ways such SMBH seeds could form.
