Abstract
We have developed the Simple Orchestration Application Framework (SOAF) to cooperatively control simulation codes on remote computers from a client PC. SOAF enables researchers to cooperatively execute various codes on grid infrastructure by only describing a configuration file including the information of execution codes and file flows among them. SOAF does not need substantial modification of the simulation codes. We have applied SOAF to the “Burning Plasma Integrated Code” which consists of various plasma simulation codes to solve the current diffusion, stability of plasma, current drive, and so on. In order to predict and interpret the behavior of fusion burning plasma, it is necessary to integrate simulation codes for complex plasma phenomena with wide temporal and spatial ranges. Since those codes exist on distributed heterogeneous computers installed in different sites such as universities and institutes, a grid computing technology is needed to cooperatively execute those codes. However, traditional grid technologies are difficult for non-computer scientists to use. By using SOAF, we successfully execute four plasma simulation codes included in the “Burning Plasma Integrated Code” according to the scenario described in the configuration file.
