As computers become more powerful, they are better able to provide answers to increasingly complex scientific questions. Unfortunately, answering these questions comes with significant costs: scientists become intimately familiar with hardware platforms, learn specialized languages and data formats to efficiently represent results, and actively shepherd their simulation runs to identify and correct potential problems as early as possible. In practice, this means computational scientists spend significantly more time managing their data and babysitting their runs rather than doing science.
