NSF cyberinfrastructures: A new paradigm for advancing materials simulation

• Review of cyberinfrastructures supported by the National Science Foundation.
• Discusses openKIM and CAMS that focus on materials modeling at the atomic scale.
• Objectives, accomplishments, and future goals are provided.
• Future outlook with regard to impact on materials modeling is presented.

This paper discusses the motivation for the creation of cyberinfrastructures to enhance specific technical areas of research. It then goes on to provide a review of two cyberinfrastructures supported by the National Science Foundation, OpenKIM and CAMS, which are geared towards enhancing materials modeling at the atomic scale. Their objectives, accomplishments, and future goals are discussed. Lastly, the future outlook for cyberinfrastructures such as these to impact materials modeling is discussed.
