1 | But perhaps more interestingly computing portals involve building a web based problem solving environment to link together all the capabilities needed to compute |
2 | run programs and access dynamically status of jobs and computers -- in particular allow a uniform interface to running a given job on one of many backend compute servers |
3 | compile and debug programs |
4 | link diverse data sources with computations run on multiple backend machines |
5 | visualize results |
6 | web-based help systems and collections of related scientific papers |
7 | computational steering i.e. interacting with a job (change parameters) based on dynamic results such as visualized results |
