MUSES Documentation

MUSES (Modular Unified Solver of the Equation of State) is an NSF-funded large collaboration project that is developing cyberinfrastructure to provide the scientific community novel tools to answer critical interdisciplinary questions in nuclear physics, gravitational wave astrophysics, and heavy-ion physics.

Tip

If you are a researcher who wants run scientific workflows, we recommend starting with the Quick Start Guide.

This is the top-level documentation for our project. It includes sections targeting several audiences including:

• researchers who want to use the Calculation Engine to run scientific workflows

• scientists who want to adapt their own calculation software to the MUSES framework for integration with the Calculation Engine

• research software engineers who want to learn how to develop the Calculation Engine and/or deploy it on their own hardware

• system administrators who operate and maintain the MUSES cyberinfrastructure
