Abstract

Heterogeneous high performance computing systems are gaining acceptance as the environments for computational scientific simulations of various application fields. Those computing systems, however, have been mostly used with the legacy consoles, resulting in the severe decrement of accessibility and usability of heterogeneous computing assets. To solve this problem, this paper presents the design and implementation of web-based computational science simulation management program. The proposed program provides fundamental primitives including user authentication, data management, physical/virtual computing resource management, job management, etc. that can be used to manage different kinds of simulations efficiently, and also offers highly extensible feature through a modular plug-in architecture. We also present the best practical examples of applications (e.g., scientific simulation education and bio-medical) to confirm our program's effectiveness.

이종의 고성능 컴퓨팅 시스템은 최근 다양한 분야의 계산과학 시뮬레이션 처리 도구로 큰 각광을 받고 있다. 그러나 고성능 컴퓨팅 자원에 대한 활용 방법이 콘솔 기반으로 제공되기 때문에 컴퓨팅 자원에 대한 접근성과 활용성이 크게 떨어진다. 본 연구는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해, 웹 기반의 이종 계산 자원 및 시뮬레이션 작업 관리 프로그램 개발에 대해 기술한다. 제안한 계산과학 시뮬레이션 관리 프로그램은 물리 가상 계산 자원 제어뿐만 아니라 사용자 인증, 데이터 관리, 시뮬레이션 작업 관리 등의 기능을 제공하며, 모듈식 플러그인 구조 설계를 통해 고도의 확장성을 가진다. 다분야 계산과학공학 교육 및 생명의료분야 적용 사례를 통해 그 우수성을 확인한다.
