"My new research group was looking for a way to implement MEEP-mpi (MIT Electromagnetic Equation Propagation) to simulate EM fields in nanoscale optical devices for cavity QED experiments. We believe that Amazon EC2 is an economical and time saving solution for our finite difference time domain (FDTD) simulations. My group's research iterates between fabrication and simulation thus it is advantageous to buy computing power only when needed. Moreover it is a relief not to have to maintain our own small cluster within our group." Kai-Mei Fu, University of Washington (Seattle, USA)

- Third SIXNS planning workshop announced at U of Washington Jan 17-18, 2014.
A Sustainable Software Innovation Institute for X-Ray and Neutron Scattering (SIXNS) is proposed to bring modeling and analysis of x-ray, electron, and neutron scattering experiments in alignment with the needs of the scattering science community by transforming existing codes into useful and user-friendly tools, while modernizing them for current developments in computing and instrumentation.
