Using the HUBZero Platform to Enable Remote Computing on DiaGrid
Category
Published on
Abstract
The DiaGrid hub has a history of creating tools using the HUBzero platform to connect users with scientific models running on computing resources around the world. We believe many tool developers could benefit from a presentation to discuss all the ways remote execution is supported including examples from real, working tools on DiaGrid. Through examination of the designs and code snippets of deployed tools, we would show how developers can utilize the HUBzero platform to submit and monitor remote execution of scientific models within their own tools. We also would discuss the process by which developers can work with the HUBzero team to get new remote computing resources supported and the types of issues which can arise from adding remote computing to a tool. One or more of us can present these topics depending on the time allotted. Depending on the conference track to which this would be accepted, we can also alter tone of content (more or less technical, focused more on the platform features vs more on the success stories of our example projects, etc) to match the audience.
