Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering ((LNEE,volume 235))

Abstract

This paper describes the design and implementation details of the EDISON platform for computational science simulations. Along with an overview of the EDISON platform, we provide an in-depth explanation of the Science AppStore framework used to acquire application-domain neutrality and the virtualized computing resources/job management framework that provides user authentication, on-demand resources provisioning, simulation/job lifecycle control, and file input/output services, etc. To evaluate the usefulness and functionality of the EDISON platform, as a pilot study, we have applied the EDISON platform to a nano-physics service environment.
