TL;DR: In this article, a high-precision finite-size scaling study of the Ising spin glass was performed using the Janus dedicated computer, and the authors obtained Tc = 1.1019(29) for the critical temperature, ν = 2.562(42) for thermal exponent, η = −0.3900(36) for anomalous dimension, and ω = 1,12(10) for exponent of the leading corrections to scaling.

TL;DR: Janus II, a new generation application-driven number cruncher optimized for Monte Carlo simulations of spin systems, builds upon and improves on the successful JANUS machine, which has been used for physics since 2008 and is still in operation today.

TL;DR: The D2Q37 LB algorithm considered in this paper is an appropriate test-bed for this architecture since the critical computing kernels require high performances both in terms of memory bandwidth for sparse memory access patterns and number crunching capability.

TL;DR: Different possibilities for the underlying physics, which include a thermodynamical spin-glass transition, a mode-coupling crossover, or an interpretation reminiscent of the random first-order picture of structural glasses are discussed.
