GridModelica- A Modeling and Simulation Framework for the Grid
Kaj Nyström, Peter Aronsson, Peter Fritzson · 2004
Simulation of complex models is a computationally expensive task. With the advent of grid computing, modelers can gain access to vast amounts of cheap computational power. This has however up until now required quite some effort to be put into specially written simulations in Fortran or C and also in the deployment of the simulation on the grid; a set of interconnected computers behaving as one single computational resource from an end-user perspective. We propose a framework called GridModelica for transparently creating and deploying simulations in the high level modeling language Modelica on computational grids. The first step in this framework is taken with the application GridParamSweep which demonstrates how easily parameter studies can automatically be performed in a grid environment.
