The core philosophy of Material Genome Initiative is transition of way of new material design from traditional "try-and-error" approach to in-silico material design approach where intensive computing and material informatics are employed. It aims to effectively speed up discovery, development, production and deployment of new material two times faster as it is now. It means a culture shift of new material discovery:simulation and prediction first, followed by experiment. An integrated computational material platform that can facilitate high-throughput quantum mechanical simulations and manage simulation lifecycle data is therefore vital. This paper depicts a high throughput computational material platform and software framework, namely, MatCloud, which effectively integrates individual quantum mechanical simulation tasks, data extraction and data storage into an automatic flow in an end-to-end manner without direct human control. Especially, core data curation activities are also integrated into this flow rather than happening at post-simulation stage separately. MatCloud is demonstrated in an example of disorder binary alloy design to be valid and effective.

A frequency domain electromagnetic algorithm boundary element method is applied for computation of Casimir forces between arbitrary materials with arbitrary geometry.Considering electric and magnetic surface current distributions,Casimir force of two objects in terms of interactions of surface currents is obtained.Casimir effects between dielectric objects embedded in dielectric fluid are presented and numerical conditions of repulsive Casimir force are investigated.Non-zeropoint energy Casimir force calculation method is provided.It can be used for design of realistic MEMS.

Roughness distributions of 1+1 dimensional noisy Kuramoto-Sivashinsky(KS) equation at steady states are obtained and compared with Kardar-Parisi-Zhang(KPZ) equation's with numerical simulation.It is shown that the scaling functions of roughness distributions of the noise KS equation in 1+1 dimensions show small finite-size effects.They are in good agreement with the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang(KPZ) equation's.
