I found myself in pretty serious agreement with the article by Michael
Baskes that you posted.  I span both the atomistic and the continuum
sides of the problem, but in the computational arena in both areas.
I think much of what he said is quite true, though I think it will take
alot more than a new journal to really address this issue.  Not the
least of the problems is that so much of the really hot computational
capability is locked up in the DoD and DoE and is not available to the
general community because of export control or security restrictions.
Still, it is a good start.
