We generated the FIRE-2 simulations using Stampede and Stampede 2, via the Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment (XSEDE), supported by NSF grant No. ACI-1548562, including allocations TG-AST120025, TG-AST140023, TG-AST140064, and TG-AST160048; Blue Waters, supported by the NSF; Frontera, supported by the NSF and TACC, including allocations AST21010 and AST20016; Pleiades, via the NASA High-End Computing (HEC) Program through the NASA Advanced Supercomputing (NAS) Division at Ames Research Center, including allocations HEC SMD-16-7592, SMD-16-7561, SMD-17-120; and the Quest computing cluster at Northwestern University. This work uses data hosted by the Flatiron Institute’s FIRE data hub, and we generated data using the Flatiron Institute’s computing clusters rusty and popeye; the Flatiron Institute is supported by the Simons Foundation. yt Hub is supported in part by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation’s Data-Driven Discovery Initiative through grant No. GBMF4561 to Matthew Turk and the National Science Foundation under grant No. ACI-1535651.
