Technology: WebHLA infrastructure for Parallel CMS

Source: Syracuse University

Providing Institution: Syracuse University

WebHLA infrastructure for Parallel CMS was transferred to Ft. Belvoir,
VA in summer 1999. This major software release  (60Meg) included the
following modules developed at NPAC:     


0 JWORB - Java based CORBA broker integrated with the Web (HTTP
  and XML) server
o OWRTI - Run-Time Infrastructure of HLA as Java based JWORB
  facility
o Parallal CMS - Origin2000 port of CMS from Ft. Belvoir
o JDIS - Java based DIS=>HLA bridge server (for ModSAF subnet)
o SimVis - in-house DirectX based 3D simulation visualization front-end
o Logger Federate - used to save simulation events in a relational
  database
o Playback Federate - used to replay a simulation from an event database

Impact: This technology provides Web/Commodity based HLA-compliant
metacomputing infrastructure for Parallel CMS that will enable large
scale minefield simulations of million mines that are of interest of
the Night Vision Lab at Ft. Belvoir.
