The concept and designs of plasma-based advanced accelerators for high energy physics and photon science are modelled in the SciDAC COMPASS project with a suite of Particle-In-Cell codes and simulation techniques including the full electromagnetic model, the envelope model, the boosted frame approach and the quasi-static model. In this paper, we report the progress of the development of these models and techniques and present recent results achieved with large-scale parallel PIC simulations. The simulation needs for modelling the plasma-based advanced accelerator at the energy frontier is discussed and a path towards this goal is outlined. © 2009 IOP Publishing Ltd.
