Developing hub tools that submit HPC jobs
Category

Abstract
The HUBzero platform provides much support for tool development in addition to Rappture. Based on my experiences with writing the SubmiR tool for the DiaGrid.org hub, this presentation will focus on coding an application that imports data, submits an HPC job, and updates the user with job status. Code examples will be in Python. A central topic will be using the hub's "submit" command to create different types of jobs on a computing cluster. I'll also touch on moving data in and out of the hub, GUI considerations, threads, and relevant directory structures.
