Framework for Integrating End to End SDM Technologies and Applications ( FIESTA )

Petascale computing is now upon us with the release of Road Runner at LANL, and Jaguar at ORNL. These computers allow for new classes of problems which create unprecedented amount of data. These computers have also grown in complexity, allowing only the minority of scientist being able to take advantage of them. Not only is it difficult to run on these systems, but analyzing, visualizing, and managing the data has also grown even more complex. There is a new growing need for powerful collaborative tools to visualize and analyze the data these simulation, and easily manage everything in one end to end system. In this paper we focus on our new dashboard-workflow approach to presenting, analyzing and sharing data from physics simulations. We present the FIESTA approach for integrating a collaborative environment for petascale simulations and analysis. Author
