Developing an infrastructure to support multiscale modelling and simulation
Stefan J. Zasada, Derek Groen, Peter V. Coveney · 2011
Today scientists and engineers are commonly faced with the challenge of modelling, predicting and controlling multiscale systems which cross scientific disciplines and where several processes acting at different scales coexist and interact. Such multidisciplinary multiscale models, when simulated in three dimensions, require large scale or even extreme scale computing capabilities. The MAPPER project is developing computational strategies, software and services for distributed multiscale simulations across disciplines, exploiting existing and evolving e-infrastructure. To facilitate such an infrastructure, the MAPPER project is developing and deploying a multi-tiered software stack, which we will describe in this talk.
