Abstract: The goal of this project is to test the numerical accuracy of the AvERA (Average Expansion Rate Approximation) code in a high-resolution environment. We will investigate the impact of density estimation methods (DTFE vs. CIC/JAX-like) on the expansion rate and the presence of the negative ISW effect. During the research, we will implement a unique dark matter model into the AvERA framework, for which the computational capacity of the Wigner GPU cluster is essential.
