Abstract:
Computational modeling and simulation have become indispensable scientific tools in virtually all areas of chemical, biomolecular, and materials systems research. Computation can provide unique and detailed atomic level information that is difficult or impossible to obtain through analytical theories and experimental investigations. In addition, recent advances in micro-electronics have resulted in computer architectures with unprecedented computational capabilities, from the largest supercomputers to common desktop computers. Combined with the development of new computational domain science methodologies and novel programming models and techniques, this has resulted in modeling and simulation resources capable of providing results at or better than experimental chemical accuracy and for systems in increasingly realistic chemical environments.
