Description

We will present an overview of SPH-EXA, the first Exascale-capable astrophysical simulation code for hydrodynamics and gravity with a native GPU implementation. We will show the
current and upcoming capabilities of SPH-EXA in simulating
star formation, tidal disruption events and other transient phenomena, protoplanetary disks and cosmological volumes
for galaxy formation. We will focus on applications that are most relevant for the SKAO scientific themes and its precursors, hinting at the transformative ability of SPH-EXA to model much
larger systems or samples of astrophysical objects at much higher resolution, which will allow to harness the upcoming datasets of SKA
