Cosmological simulations for precision cosmology with large galaxy surveys

The upcoming generation of galaxy surveys will probe the distribution of matter
in the universe with unprecedented accuracy. Measurements of the matter density
power spectrum at different scales and redshifts will provide stringent
constraints on the cosmological parameters. However, on non-linear scales this
will require an accurate modelling of the observables and their covariance. In
this talk I will discuss the role of numerical simulations in this context and
the associated numerical challenges.
