Abstract

We are designing and developing a novel software environment - the Digital Material -to support materials modeling across many length and time scales, in order to develop improved descriptions of material structure and evolution. Software support is required for high-performance numerical kernels, lightweight infrastructures for prototyping, steering and analysis, information transfer across scales, coupling of disparate simulation modules, and collaboration between a multidisciplinary collection of researchers.
