# BRCON 2021 TALK: UNIX PRINCIPLES FOR SCIENCE SIMULATIONS 

I presented some ideas and examples of using the [1]Unix principles in
scientific software development during [2]brcon 2021.  Abstract:

    Most numerical simulations contain several steps, for example
    initialization of model state, defining boundary conditions,
    stepping through simulation time, statistical analysis on results,
    and visualiation.  In this talk I demonstrate how UNIX principles of
    process modularity and text streams allow for unparalleled flexibility
    for scientific applications.
