Redefining Research in Nanotechnology Simulations: A New Approach to Data Caching and Analysis

As the world shifts deeper into the virtual workspace, previous models and systematic designs become obsolete or inconvenient. To keep up with the ever-growing field of nanotechnology simulations, nanoHUB, a public platform for computation research in nanotechnology and related fields, has recently created a code library called Sim2ls. Sim2ls is a revolutionary tool allowing data processed by a simulation to be saved into a globally accessible storage area. Implementation of Sim2ls instantly allows retrieval of output data that has been run before if the same inputs were to be used, skipping the entire calculation process that could take up to several hours of runtime.
