From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the consortium in computational cosmology. For the consortium in gravitational waves, see European Gravitational Observatory.
The Virgo Consortium was founded in 1994 for Cosmological Supercomputer Simulations in response to the UK's High Performance Computing Initiative. Virgo developed rapidly into an international collaboration between a dozen scientists in the UK, Germany, Netherlands, Canada, United States and Japan.
