...is nowadays considered the third pillar of science, complementing experiment and theory. More and more knowledge of complex natural phenomena is obtained from large-scale, detailed simulations. They involve techniques from modeling of such phenomena and numerical methods, the design and implementation of algorithms to the actual execution of programs on modern hardware. We employ these techniques in applications from biology and medicine to chemistry and astrophysics and advance methods by overcoming application specific challenges.
