I wrote a two-page white paper for a DOE workshop on software productivity for extreme-scale science. In this paper, I coin a new term (at least I think it is new!): dark software. I explain this concept below:
Scientific discovery is the result not of individual simulations but of complex end-to-end research processes. These processes frequently involve, for example, the ingest and analysis of simulation, experimental, and observational data; the invocation of simulations within larger design optimization and uncertainty quantification activities; validation through comparison of experimental and simulation data;
