CIF21 DIBBs: Ubiquitous Access to Transient Data and Preliminary Results via the SeedMe Platform

在各种科学和工程研究中，计算模拟已成为不可或缺的工具。快速有效地评估结果数据对于有效利用研究人员的时间和计算资源是必要的，但当大型协作团队在地理上分散和/或一些团队成员无法直接访问计算资源和输出数据时，这一过程会很复杂。目前共享和评估瞬时数据和初步结果的方法繁琐且劳动密集型；每个研究团队都必须创建自己的脚本和特别程序，以将数据从系统推送到系统以及从用户推送到用户。需要更好的工具和网络基础设施来支持协作计算科学团队的初步成果共享。该项目开发基于Web的构建块和网络基础设施，以实现从计算资源到各种平台(从移动设备到工作站)的瞬时数据和初步结果的轻松共享和流动，从而能够快速方便地查看和评估结果，并提供高性能计算和云计算基础设施中缺失的基本组件。

Computational simulations have become an indispensible tool in a wide variety of science and engineering investigations. Quick and effective assessments of the resulting data are necessary for efficient use of researcher time and computation resources, but this process is complicated when a large collaborating team is geographically dispersed and/or some team members do not have direct access to the computation resource and output data. Current methods for sharing and assessing transient data and preliminary results are cumbersome and labor intensive; each research team must create their own scripts and ad hoc procedures to push data from system to system and user to user. Better tools and cyberinfrastructure are needed to support preliminary results sharing for collaborating computational science teams. This project develops web-based building blocks and cyberinfrastructure to enable easy sharing and streaming of transient data and preliminary results from computing resources to a variety of platforms, from mobile devices to workstations, making it possible to quickly and conveniently view and assess results and provide an essential missing component in High Performance Computing and cloud computing infrastructure.
