Open source software has played a key role in recent breakthroughs in nuclear physics and will continue to help push the field forward, reports Klint Finley.
"As open source has exploded over the past decade, it plays an increasingly important role in research, both in the public and private sectors" says Paul Romano, a computational scientist at Argonne National Laboratory.
“Many nuclear science organizations have released open source software in recent years, which is a big change” in a field that has historically been less open, Finley says. “Researchers at various Department of Energy National Laboratory and Technology Centers, including Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, the Idaho National Laboratory, and Argonne National Laboratory, have open sourced a number of tools for running complex physics simulations on HPC systems.”
