Simulating Reionization: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow

Cosmic reionization - the process of ionization of the bulk of cosmic gas by ultra-violet radiation from primeval galaxies - is by far the most dramatic event that occurred in the universe since the formation of the first star. I will give a very personal and highly biased view on the recent progress in modeling reionization with numerical simulations, and will discuss a possible avenue for catching the next big prize in numerical cosmology.
