Toan Dinh Nguyen, Laurentiu Trifan, Jean‐Antoine Désidéri · 2011
Abstract—This paper presents the design, implementation and deployment of a simulation platform based on distributed workflows. It supports the smooth integration of existing software, e.g., Matlab, Scilab, Python, OpenFOAM, ParaView and user-defined programs. Additional features include the support for application-level fault-tolerance and exception-handling, i.e., resilience, and the orchestrated execution of distributed codes on remote high-performance clusters. Keywords-workflows; fault-tolerance; resilience; simulation; distributed systems; high-performance computing I.
