Modular Unified Solver of the Equation of State
NSF // CSSI FrameworkWELCOME TO THE MUSES PROJECT
MUSES is an NSF-funded large collaboration project that provides the scientific community novel tools to answer critical interdisciplinary questions in nuclear physics, gravitational wave astrophysics, and heavy-ion physics by developing scientific software modules, deploying web applications to run data processing workflows at scale, and generating scientific data products.

UPDATED & INTEGRATED
Many of the calculation packages included in the Calculation Engine have a long and storied history. Much of the initial work of MUSES was converting, rewriting, and upgrading this software from unmaintainable code written in antiquated programming languages to high-performance C++ libraries that can be wrapped for use in other languages such as Python. Now, these MUSES modules can be connected in composable workflows and run at scale on clusters.
CLOUD NATIVE & SCALABLE
The MUSES cyberinfrastructure is more than the Calculation Engine. We built a cloud-native deployment system based on the latest container technologies, leveraging the power of Kubernetes to create a reproducible environment compatible with a wide range of hosting platforms. Individuals and organizations can deploy the Calculation Engine on their own compute resources and maintain full control over their data.
COLLABORATIVE TOOLS & SERVICES
