Abstract

We describe a computational science research program primarily aimed at engineering numerically robust software that can exploit high performance on distributed computers in the study of electron collisions with atoms and ions. In particular, we describe the development of 2DRMP-G, a Grid aware 2-dimensional R-matrix propagator and its numerical validation using CADNA, a software tool based on discrete stochastic arithmetic.
