Abstract:
Computational scientists face many challenges when developing software that runs on large-scale parallel machines. However, software-engineering researchers haven't studied their software development processes in much detail. To better understand the nature of software development in this context, the authors examined five large-scale computational science software projects operated at the five ASC-Alliance centers.
The US Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration formed the five ASC-Alliance centers around 1997 to develop computational simulation as a credible scientific-research method. The five centers are
