Systematic UpscalingRigorous computational methodology to derivefrom physical laws at microscopic (e.g., atomistic) levelgoverning equations at increasingly

larger scales.

Scales are increased gradually (e.g., doubled at each level)

with interscale feedbacks, yielding:

• Inexpensive computation : needed only in some small “windows” at each scale.

• No need to sum long-range interactions

Applicable to fluids, solids, macromolecules, electronic structures, elementary particles, turbulence, …

• Efficient transitions between meta-stable configurations.
