A number of problems of interest to theoretical researchers lie at the forefront of structure formation and evolution of the universe. The fundamental problems are computationally challenging, intrinsically three dimensional and characterized by a wide range of length scales and time scales. In order to attack such problems requiring extensive memory and/or evolutionary time requirements, TIARA provides access to computational resources using many processors on clusters, visualization servers, and software, as outlined below.
