abstract = {The use of different simulation methods in materials
science is necessary to provide accurate and efficient
solutions for each specific time and length scale: e.g., an
accurate description of atom properties requires a high
amount of information, but the analysis of microstructures
takes higher level descriptions of compounds. Nevertheless,
the implementation of scale-bridging techniques requires
specific modelling efforts in order to transfer information
between different approaches, as well as suitable
computational tools that facilitate the connection between
simulations. In this aspect, the present work describes the
first steps in the development of a parallel cell-based
framework for the optimised execution of a wide variety of
simulations. The proposed framework acts as a skeleton that
defines parallel simulations by using the concepts of
domains, cells and components as its central constructs, and
also incorporating further functionalities in a modular way
(e.g. load balancing algorithms). The correct management of
the framework has been tested with a first example, which
consist in the coupling of molecular dynamics with Monte
Carlo to show the segregation of carbon (C) in a defect bcc
iron (Fe) structure. The existing code is connected to the
framework to obtain a parallel execution with domain
decomposition and load balancing. The test results give a
good perspective of the current potential of the simulation
framework, and also help to guide the future developments
and improvements.},
