Development of the Breakthrough Vorcat Technology for Cloud-Based Complex Energy Simulations

Technical Report krispin, jacob

The over-arching goal of this SBIR project is to offer Vorcat, Inc.'s ("Vorcat") breakthrough Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technology in a High Performance Computing (HPC) cloud environment so as to extend its current reach and foster adoption. HPC most generally refers to the practice of aggregating computing power in a way that delivers much higher performance than one could get out of a typical desktop computer or workstation in order to solve large problems in science, engineering, or business. In particular, the cloud app(s) proposed here addresses the problem of advancing current capabilities for designing next generation wind turbines andmore »« less

Seismology in the Cloud: A New Streaming Workflow

Journal Article MacCarthy, Jonathan K. ; Marcillo, Omar Eduardo ; Trabant, Chad - Seismological Research Letters

Data-intensive research in seismology is experiencing a recent boom, driven in part by large volumes of available data and advances in the growing field of data science. However, there are significant barriers to processing large data volumes, such as long retrieval times from data repositories, complex data management, and limited computational resources. New tools and platforms have reduced the barriers to entry for scientific cluster computing, including the maturation of the commercial cloud as an accessible instrument for research. Here, we build a customized research cluster in the cloud to test a new workflow for large-scale seismic analysis, in whichmore »« less

Designing the Cloud-based DOE Systems Biology Knowledgebase

Conference Lansing, Carina S. ; Liu, Yan ; Yin, Jian ; ...

Systems Biology research, even more than many other scientific domains, is becoming increasingly data-intensive. Not only have advances in experimental and computational technologies lead to an exponential increase in scientific data volumes and their complexity, but increasingly such databases themselves are providing the basis for new scientific discoveries. To engage effectively with these community resources, integrated analyses, synthesis and simulation software is needed, regularly supported by scientific workflows. In order to provide a more collaborative, community driven research environment for this heterogeneous setting, the Department of Energy (DOE) has decided to develop a federated, cloud based cyber infrastructure - themore »« less

CALPHAD in the Cloud

Technical Report Niu, Changning ; Lin, Yu ; Saboo, Abhinav ; ...

Chemical thermodynamics forms the cornerstone of material science and engineering and plays a key role throughout the materials design process. Designing new materials using an Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) approach begins with the use of chemical thermodynamics in the form of phase diagrams to identify material concepts for further exploration. Designing new materials using an ICME approach ends with the use of chemical thermodynamics in the form of numerical process—structure models that enable optimization and sensitivity analysis of a material’s properties with respect to process conditions. Because the ICME design approach is so dependent on chemical thermodynamics, a designmore »« less
