Science gateways have the potential to offer transparent and user friendly access to a wide variety of distributed computing resources. These tools hide the complexity of the underlying infrastructure from the scientist end-users and let them concentrate on their scientific research problem instead of requiring a steep and sometimes impossible learning curve in complex computing paradigms....

Numerical simulations in the condensed matter physics deploy a broad range of algorithms, such as solving of nonlinear partial differential equations, classical and quantum Monte Carlo techniques, including solving of Bose-Hubbard and Fermi-Hubbard models, exact diagonalization techniques for strongly correlated systems, etc. Whichever is chosen, typically it will require large-scale computing...

Weather Research Forecasting (WRF) model is a public domain software with a world wide spread community of users. This community is heterogeneous both in terms of application domains and Distributed Computing Infrastructure (DCI) profiles. WRF researches are physicists, chemists, mathematicians and engineers who demand a huge variety of DCIs in order to tackle climate experiments such as...

Nowadays new materials are of great interests that have nanoscale structure (nanomaterials) and unique properties, such as metal nanocrystals, metal nanorodes, and nanoscale non-metallic (organic) materials like carbon nanotubes (CNT, graphene, etc.) and their complicated ensembles. Molecular dynamics (MD) and Monte Carlo (MC) simulations of nanoscale processes in the wide range of physical...

Heliophysics is the branch of physics that investigates the interactions among different events across the Solar System. This investigation usually takes place by finding the relevant events and then modelling their interactions through physical and mathematical models.
Events can be found by querying pre-compiled catalogues of metadata or by extracting relevant features directly from...
