Momentum Compute Server Nowadays, mathematical models and numerical methods are predominantly used only after being implemented in some form of software or code. Validation and calibration of models and methods are done using their computer code representation, which will arguably become the primary currency of exchange of any scientific idea in the near future. Making the multitude of available computational software accessible, usable and adaptable to interact with each other is a major challenge of the computational science and engineering community.
Within the wider scientific community it has become a self-evident new paradigm that any scholarly publication that presents results based on software must make its research code freely available. The open code development of computational software enhances its value, fosters a collaborative environment, and accelerates scientific progress. This openness also ensures a level of transparency and reproducibility that is essential for the scientific method.
