The emergence of leadership class computing is creating a tsunami of data from petascale simulations. Results are typically analyzed by dozens of scientists. In order for the scientist to digest the vast amount of data being produced from the simulations and auxiliary programs, it is critical to automate the effort to manage, analyze, visualize, and share this data. One aspect of this is leveraging of their collective knowledge and experiences through a scientific social network. This can be archived through a combination of parallel back-end services, provenance capturing, and an easy to use front-end tool. 'eSimMon', is one such tool we developed as part of the Scientific Discovery through Advanced Computing (SciDAC) program. In this paper we describe eSimMon, discuss its ease of use, its efficiency, and its ability to accelerate scientific discovery through advanced computing.
