Distributed Network-Based Verification and Validation of Electronic Structure Computations using ESTEST

ESTEST is a web-based framework for verification and validation of electronic structure computations [1,2]. It enables automatic comparison and post-processing of simulation data obtained using Abinit, Quantum-Espresso, Siesta, Exciting, Qbox and VASP. We present new features of ESTEST that extend its operation to a distributed network of servers. This capability enables sharing, verification, validation, comparison, and post-processing of simulations across a decentralized network of ESTEST servers hosted by different institutions. Examples of cross-server operations including multiple servers will be demonstrated. \\[4pt] [1] G. Yuan and F.
