“…In other domains, tightly coupled multiscale models have been successfully tackled using frameworks such as the MUSCLE computing environment [18,19] combined with a domain specific Multiscale Modeling Language (MML) [20]. In MML [20], the multiscale model architecture is analyzed using directed acyclic task graphs, that facilitate validity checking and task scheduling, and a formal multiscale model and its pertinent computational architecture are specified in a modular fashion.…”
Simulation of charge transport in disordered organic materials requires a huge number of quantum mechanical calculations and becomes particularly challenging when the polaron effect is explicitly included, i.e. the influence of the electrostatic environment of the molecules on the energy disorder. The polaron model gives rise to tasks of varying resource footprints and to dependencies between a large number of tasks. We solve the resulting tightly coupled multiscale model using the quantum patch approach by accounting for the dependencies arising from the self-consistency loops for constructing the workflow and applying a specific scheduling strategy for different task types. Our implementation of the method fully exploits the parallelism of the multiscale model alleviating the effects of load imbalance and dependencies so that it can be efficiently used on high performance computing machines.

“…GridSpace itself does not deal with lowlevel resource usage issues (such as reducing waiting time in a job queue); it provides a unified interface to resource access which includes not only simple ssh-based access, but also advanced external services supporting resource co-allocation and reservation. An example of usage of such services for a tightly coupled simulation is described in [26].…”

“…Thanks to their usage, it is easier for application developers to achieve scientific results. One example is the physiology application described in [26]. The usage of tools for simulation of irrigation canals [30,31] was used as a basis for a tutorial used during first seasonal MAPPER school in London.…”

“…The usage of tools for simulation of irrigation canals [30,31] was used as a basis for a tutorial used during first seasonal MAPPER school in London. 26 Tools were also applied in the simulation of clay-polymer nanocomposites (Nano-material science) [32], reverse engineering of gene-regulatory networks (Computational Biology), equilibrium-stability and in transport turbulence equilibrium workflows (Fusion modeling). At present 43 single-scale models and 38 mappers are already registered in the model registry (MaMe), representing almost all MAPPER applications in addition to a test application.…”
