Object–relational architecture of information support of the multi-circuit calculation multilayer semiconductor nanostructures

The article examines the object–relational approach to the creation of a database designed to provide informational support to the multiscale computational scheme of multilayer semiconductor nanostructures. The MSNS computational scheme developed earlier by our group uses a hierarchic representation of computational data obtained by various computational modules. Each layer of MSNS is treated separately. In contrast to well-known materials databases which serve for storing and retrieving of information on existing structures and their properties the database described in this paper is the central unit of the MSNS computational scheme. The database provides data interchange between various computational units. In this paper we describe the modern approach to material database design. More specifically, a data storage relational model which applies to solving resource-intensive and different-scale problems is proposed. An object–relational scheduler architecture is used in our work. It provides for high-speed data exchange between various computational units of the MSNS computational scheme. We introduce a simple and user-friendly interface allowing criteria-based data retrieving as well as creation of input files for computational modules. These approaches can be applied in various branches of science, including the aviation and space industry, in particular in control systems of engineering (materials science) data.
