Building Flexible Large-Scale Scientific Computing Applications with Scripting Languages
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe our use of scripting languages with a large-scale molecular dynamics code. We will show how one can build an interactive, highly modular, and easily extensible system without sacrificing performance, building a huge monolithic package, or complicating code development. We will also describe our use of the Python language and the SWIG automated interface generation tool that we have developed for easily creating scripting language interfaces to C/C++ programs.

A Scripting Interface for Swift/T Parallel Workloads Using Messaging Queues
Modern scientific computing applications require not only highly parallel high-performance computing workloads but also the expressiveness and simplicity of scripting languages. In this work we present an interface that allows external C and C++ programs to control a parallel workflow using Swift/T. This interface facilitates the use of existing C/C++ algorithm implementations to run distribute...
متن کاملWork Queue + Python: A Framework For Scalable Scientific Ensemble Applications
Even with the increase in the number and variety of computer resources available to research scientists today, it is still challenging to construct scalable distributed applications. To address this issue, we developed Work Queue, a flexible master/worker framework for building large scale scientific ensemble applications that span many machines including clusters, grids, and clouds. In this pa...
متن کاملThe Role of Algorithmic Applications in the Development of Architectural Forms (Case Study:Nine High-Rise Buildings)
The process of developing architectural forms has greatly been changed by advances in digital technology, especially in design tools and applications. In recent years, the advent of graphical scripting languages in the design process has profoundly affected 3D modeling. Scripting languages help develop algorithms and geometrical grammar of shapes based on their constituent parameters. This stud...
متن کاملStatic Detection of Security Vulnerabilities in Scripting Languages
We present a static analysis algorithm for detecting security vulnerabilities in PHP, a popular server-side scripting language for building web applications. Our analysis employs a novel three-tier architecture to capture information at decreasing levels of granularity at the intrablock, intraprocedural, and interprocedural level. This architecture enables us to handle dynamic features of scrip...
متن کاملA Clustering Approach to Scientific Workflow Scheduling on the Cloud with Deadline and Cost Constraints
One of the main features of High Throughput Computing systems is the availability of high power processing resources. Cloud Computing systems can offer these features through concepts like Pay-Per-Use and Quality of Service (QoS) over the Internet. Many applications in Cloud computing are represented by workflows. Quality of Service is one of the most important challenges in the context of sche...
