One type of concurrent multiscale simulation is quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM). This involves running a small portion (often a molecule or protein of interest) with a more accurate electronic structure calculation and surrounding it with a larger region of fast running, less accurate classical molecular dynamics. Many other methods exist, such as atomistic-continuum simulations, similar to QM/MM except using molecular dynamics and the finite element method as the fine (high-fidelity) and coarse (low-fidelity), respectively.
