Component-Based Scientific Application Development
Over the past few years, we have defined and gone a long ways towards implementing a component-based strategy for building scientific application codes. We have asserted that this approach offers significant advantages over a model of writing project-based application codes. There are now several technical and programmatic successes that validate these claims. Not only are there net benefits to code projects that follow this strategy, but also the most striking gains are for the long-term impact and productivity of our computational science organizations.
