Distributed, on-demand, data-intensive and collaborative simulation analysis

Abstract

Distributed, on-demand, data-intensive, and collaborative simulation analysis tools are being developed by an international team to solve real problems such as bioinformatics applications. The project consists of three distinct focuses: compute, visualize, and collaborate. Each component utilizes software and hardware that performs across the International Grid. Computers in North America, Asia, and Europe are working on a common simulation programs. The results are visualized in a multi-way 3D visualization collaboration session where additional compute requests can be submitted in real-time. Navigation controls and data replication issues are addressed and solved with a scalable solution. Published by Elsevier B.V.

Grid-enabled Spatial Data Infrastructure for environmental sciences: Challenges and opportunities

“…In other words, a Grid aims to harness resources in a dynamic, distributed environment. Recent studies have exemplified a successful approach to extend Grid technology to the remote sensing community [30,25], as well as to the field of disaster management [31,32] making OGC web services grid-enabled.…”

“…By making geospatial data and related services available in the Grid environment, this can potentially pave the way to the development of innovative workflows involving large data sets obtained from different disciplines. As an example, we can mention the very promising idea of linking environmental data with genetic data [30,77].…”

Study on the modern generalized optimization design based on collaborative virtual prototype technology

“…They are using the same or different designing softwares, analyzing softwares and testing methods to do the different work of this project or product in different aspects. [8]. In order to raise the R&D efficiency and control level, their close communication and cooperation are necessary, and lots of design, analysis and experiment data should be shared, exchanged, checked, and improved, so that the management and supervision of the whole process and products can be realized through a platform, and the file and integration of all the sources can also be realized.…”

A solution of multidisciplinary collaborative simulation for complex engineering systems in a distributed heterogeneous environment

“…As the design tools are usually self-governed, heterogeneous, and distributed in a networked computing environment, it is necessary to adopt an efficient collaborative design environment to coordinate the activities of multidisciplinary design teams and to guarantee the interoperability among the different engineering tools [11] . To solve this problem, Breckenridge et al [11,12] studied the data-intensive collection and analysis of distributed collaborative simulation using HLA technologies. Di et al [13] investigated a collaborative modeling and simulation platform for multidisciplinary virtual prototype and its component-based software implementation using grid computing technology.…”
