description: "Many new, high-performance nuclear energy modeling and simulation tools\
  \ are under development in the United States and many more existing projects are\
  \ moving to high-performance computing. This shift to state-of-the-art modeling\
  \ and simulation will not only result in an unprecedented use of computing resources\
  \ but it will generate extremely large amounts of data in extraordinary detail.\
  \ Domain scientists will find themselves simultaneously in two positions: managing\
  \ the complexity of their own problem domain and managing the complexity of a nightmarish\
  \ scenario of high-performance computational tools. We believe that the computational\
  \ science community should develop integrated tools for coupling, working with and\
  \ analyzing data from simulation codes instead of leaving domains scientists and\
  \ students to fend for themselves and come up with a \"working\" solution. While\
  \ many projects offer some set of tools to work with their codes, to launch jobs\
  \ remotely or to setup input files, most of these tools are rarely integrated in\
  \ a holistic way to provide an easy, common and high-productivity environment for\
  \ users. For that matter, most remote jobs are launched on \"the machine in the\
  \ other room,\" but that certainly will not work for larger problems that require\
  \ Leadership Class computing resources found only at U.S. National Laboratories\
  \ or similar facilities. Overcoming the challenges of launching on these machines\
  \ and even on public or private \"clouds\" are left as a challenge to the user."
