What is the present state of the art in simulating early solar-system formation? In principle, one could set up a comfortably virial cloud of randomly-moving particles, say a million or a billion of them, and watch them aggregate under the force of gravity over a few million simulated years. The last time I heard anything of this discipline, it was being used to model galaxy formation in hopes of sorting out the origin of spiral arms. That was about a decade ago. How are they doing? Even with no real increase in simulation sophistication, Moore's law should be delivering some actual answers by now.
