Importance of Simulations for LSST<br />

More data than any other astronomical project<br />

Produces 3 gigapixel images (~1500 HDTV’s) every 15<br />

seconds<br />

No one can ever look at all the data Automatic<br />

processing (that has to work when telescope turns on)<br />

In addition, some of the most accurate measurements ever<br />

made have been planned especially for cosmology<br />

Maybe we should do some simulations<br />

Have led development of a novel photon simulation<br />

(phoSim) code for several years in the LSST project
