Scientific Software Sustainability for Stochastic Codes---ZENO, an Example from NIST

Published

Author(s)

Walid Keyrouz, Michael V. Mascagni

Abstract

We consider the unique issues related to software sustainability that accompany scientific codes that employ stochastic algorithms. These are codes that often implement Monte Carlo methods (MCMs). We will focus our attention on ZENO, a code of interest at NIST that uses MCMs to compute materials properties.
