Okay. I've pointed this out twice and you still haven't clarified what you are asking about.
Are you asking about the size of a computer program that would model a universe (I'm assuming this means at least the size of the observable universe)?
If you are asking about this, what scale are you wanting to model this at? What that means is how coarse do you want the resolution to be? Do you want to watch stars fly around a computer screen, or do you want something that you can "plug into" and experience like a video game?
If you just want to do stars then that's not that big of a deal. We do that already. You can ask a grad student who studies dark matter this question and they can point you in the right direction.
If you want something you can live in then you should ask Sean from Hello Games how large the server would need to be if every planet were completely explored in no man's sky (assuming he would tell you the truth instead of complaining about how you are experiencing his game wrong).
If you are wanting to actually create a new universe from scratch by modeling it atom by atom then the answer to your question is so large it's meaningless. I guess you could find the correct mountain to climb and ask god how big the program would be.
Music videos created by early stage AI don't really have anything to do with your question.
