Integrated Scientific Cloud Computing WorkflowsSC2IT: A Toolkit to Bring Novel Computational Science to Non-specialists
Kevin Jorissen, W. Johnson, John J. Rehr · 2013
ScientificCloud Computing (SCC) applies the advantages of Clouds to computational science.We present the SC2IT Scientific Cloud Computing tools that abstract complex computational workflows and allow state-of-the-art scientific high-performance computing software to be distributed in a user-friendly manner.We present Linux and Java "SC2IT" toolsets to manage virtual cloud clusters and implement scientific workflows.We demonstrate several GUIs that implement the "SC2IT" interface for materials science applications.In particular, the ClusterManager is a generalpurpose SCC GUI to which new workflows can be added easily.
