The PRISMS Computational Codes are available on Github. See the announcement here.
The Materials Commons site, is a platform for organizing, collaborating, publishing and sharing research data. You can access it here.
At the PRISMS Center integration drives everything we do. Our science is integrated with our computational codes and with the results from our experimentalists who identify new phenomena and fill in missing details. Our Materials Commons repository allows groups to collaborate and share data and provide it to the broader technical community. And our computational software is seamlessly integrating the latest multi-length scale scientific software into open source codes.
Developing computational codes that help to model the real world is hard. Our approach teams experimental researchers with computationalists to produce models and codes that address real world problems. Our teams of researchers have formed into different groups we call "Use Case" groups. These use cases represent natural ways groups of researchers might use the PRISMS tools and protocols to solve important scientific and technological problems. The use cases help us to link experiments with the simulations, validate the models, and improve the codes.
Learn More >>The PRISMS Center software development is based on an integrated suite of multiscale/multiphysics computational codes developed by the various research groups affiliated with the center and are facilitated by the research staff and faculty in a highly collaborative environment.
Learn More >>Materials Commons is a data repository and collaboration platform. It allows researchers to collaborate, tracks the history of your data (provenance tracking) and provides a powerful model for viewing your data. We use the Materials Commons to facilitate our research by storing our data and using it to track our research. We've put a lot of effort into making sure it integrates with other tool sets.
Learn More >>The PRISMS Center has three primary thrusts that work together to support each other. They are:
Our Center is formally known as the Department of Energy (DOE) Software Innovation Center for Integrated Multi-Scale Modeling of Structural Metals. The PRISMS Center is one of several such centers that DOE-Basic Energy Science (BES) supports as part of the Materials Genome Initiative to encourage and support development of open-source computational tools and repositories and facilitate large-scale community involvement. It is funded as part of the DOE-BES Predictive Theory and Modeling program and Mechanical Behavior and Radiation Effects Core Program. The PRISMS Center has leveraged this with substantial University of Michigan internal cost-shared resources provided by UM College of Engineer and the three departments and engineering faculty involved in the center. This work is supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Basic Energy Sciences, Division of Materials Sciences and Engineering under Award #DE-SC0008637.
