Often, software developed within a research group to solve specific problems
evolves into an integral tool, sometimes not only for the original group, but
also for other groups and institutions where it may be adapted. A well-known
problem, however, is to guarantee long-term stability and maintenance, as well
as the further development of the software. A lack of (permanent) funding...
Certain research questions necessitate highly specialized software solutions tailored to the unique intricacies of the problem at hand. These questions often arise from the complex and nuanced nature of the research domain, demanding precise methodologies and algorithms that cater to specific requirements. In such cases, attempting to implement a generic solution might prove counterproductive...
Software engineers communicate with hardware through a language known as an instruction set architecture (ISA). However, the conclusion of Dennard scaling and Moore's Law implies that this traditional ISA is being replaced by complex heterogeneous ISAs. In light of this, the expertise required to develop new compilers and create domain-specific languages will be crucial for future software...
Eine für die numerische Simulation von Strömungen sehr beliebte und erfolgreiche Software ist die quelloffene Software der OpenFOAM Foundation, welche sowohl in der Industrie als auch im akademischen Umfeld Anwendung findet. Forschungsgruppen, die keine reine Inhouse-Entwicklung leisten können oder anstreben, gewährt sie eine optimale Basis um eigene Ideen und Konzepte in einer transparenten...
