A Distributed Workflow Platform for High-Performance Simulation
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents an approach to design, implement and deploy a simulation platform based on distributed workflows. It supports the smooth integration of existing software, e.g., Matlab, Scilab, Python, OpenFOAM, Paraview and user-defined programs. Additional features include the support for application-level fault-tolerance and exception-handling, i.e., resilience, and the orchestrated execution of distributed codes on remote high-performance clusters. Keywords-workflows; fault-tolerance; resilience; simulation; distributed systems; high-performance computing

Data Replication-Based Scheduling in Cloud Computing Environment
Abstract— High-performance computing and vast storage are two key factors required for executing data-intensive applications. In comparison with traditional distributed systems like data grid, cloud computing provides these factors in a more affordable, scalable and elastic platform. Furthermore, accessing data files is critical for performing such applications. Sometimes accessing data becomes...

متن کاملMulti-objective and Scalable Heuristic Algorithm for Workflow Task Scheduling in Utility Grids
To use services transparently in a distributed environment, the Utility Grids develop a cyber-infrastructure. The parameters of the Quality of Service such as the allocation-cost and makespan have to be dealt with in order to schedule workflow application tasks in the Utility Grids. Optimization of both target parameters above is a challenge in a distributed environment and may conflict one an...
متن کاملA Generalized Discrete Event System (G-DEVS) Flattened Simulation Structure: Application to High-Level Architecture (HLA) Compliant Simulation of Workflow
The objective of the paper is to specify a new flattened Generalized Discrete Event System simulation engine structure and the Workflow modeling and simulation environment embedding it. We express first the new flattened simulation structure and give the corresponding transformation functions. We analyze performance tests conducted on this new simulation structure to measure its efficiency. The...
متن کاملE-science Workflow on the Grid
Grid computing, which can be characterized as large-scale distributed resource sharing and cooperation, has quickly become a mainstream technology in distributed computing. In this paper, we present the idea of applying certain grid workflow management techniques to mediate various services for grid-based e-science processes. The techniques of adaptable workflow services, aggressive sub-workflo...
