未来的计算天体物理学:一种具有商定标准的开放式模块化方法将促进天体物理学发现
Computational astrophysics for the future: An open, modular approach with agreed standards would facilitate astrophysical discovery
摘要:
科学发现是以思想为媒介的,这些思想在形成假说之后,可以在最终导致公认的概念之前进行测试,验证和量化。以计算机为媒介的天体物理学发现也不例外,但只有参与编写的科学家才能理解的过时代码阻碍了该领域的科学发现。需要一个大胆的倡议,使天体物理学代码现代化,并使其透明和有用,超越一小群科学家。(节略)
英文摘要:
Scientific discovery is mediated by ideas that, after being formulated in hypotheses, can be tested, validated, and quantified before they eventually lead to accepted concepts. Computer-mediated discovery in astrophysics is no exception, but antiquated code that is only intelligible to scientists who were involved in writing it is holding up scientific discovery in the field. A bold initiative is needed to modernize astrophysics code and make it transparent and useful beyond a small group of scientists. (abridged)
