Abstract
Rapid improvement in the speed of computers has enabled realistic simulations of magnetoconvective processes in the surface layers of the Sun. The simulations now cover a wide range of features found in observations. In many cases a direct comparison with the observations is justified, and in all cases our understanding and interpretation of the observations is being improved. Current and future opportunities and difficulties will be discussed.
