Physics OS FAQs

Question 1

Can Physics OS run on standard hardware, or do I need a supercomputer?

Accepted Answer

Physics OS is designed to bring exascale computing (up to 4.4 × 10¹² degrees of freedom) to commodity hardware. You can run incredibly complex, high-fidelity simulations on a single workstation, eliminating the need for expensive supercomputer access.

Question 2

How does Physics OS achieve such massive memory savings and performance gains?

Accepted Answer

Physics OS leverages Quantized Tensor Trains (QTT) to mathematically compress dense numerical arrays, reducing memory consumption from O(N³) to O(log N). This allows simulations requiring terabytes of RAM to fit into megabytes, drastically cutting compute costs and time-to-insight.

Question 3

What is Physics OS and how does it revolutionize physics simulations?

Accepted Answer

Physics OS is a software tool that accelerates high-fidelity physics simulations, enabling exascale problems on commodity hardware. It revolutionizes the field by using Quantized Tensor Trains (QTT) for O(log N) memory scaling and providing cryptographic verification of all simulation results.

Question 4

What does 'cryptographically verified computation' mean for my simulations?

Accepted Answer

It means your simulation results are mathematically guaranteed for correctness. Physics OS uses Lean 4 formal proofs for governing equations and Halo2 ZK circuits to prove the computation trace matches those equations. Every output is an Ed25519-signed trust certificate, assuring integrity.

Question 5

What types of physics simulations can Physics OS handle?

Accepted Answer

Physics OS supports 7 core physics domains, including Navier-Stokes (2D), Schrödinger, Maxwell (TE & 3D), Viscous Burgers, Advection-Diffusion, and Vlasov-Poisson. It also provides 8 QTT meta-primitives for broad extensibility.
