Full HTML Index

We joined FMS PET program in Summer `97

Our approach before Summer `97: 3-Tier Web Computing, WebFlow over Java Web Servers

Object Web (Java meets CORBA) concepts become visible in Summer `97

HLA - new DoD standard for Modeling and Simulation Interoperability - starts stabilizing in Summer `97

We base our approach on the synergy between these two emergent technology standards

Foil 23 PET Roadmap for FMS: DIS/ALSP to HLA Transition

From Overview of PET and CHSSI FMS (Forces Modeling and Simulation) ASC MSRC FMS Day Meeting Dayton Ohio -- July 29 1999. *

Full HTML Index

Previous generation M&S: several paradigms (e.g. DIS for real time, ALSP for logical time), focused use, poor reusability or interoperability

New DoD M&S Vision e.g. SBA calls for maximal interoperability of simulations

HLA offers the global interoperability framework in terms of a high level distributed object model and a set of object management services

Full HTML Index

Web started from HTML client and HTTP server

CGI added simple third layer (poor man's 3-tier)

Servlets offered a better model but still poor interface to legacy codes (C/C++/Fortran..)

CORBA offers complete solution for stable CGI

Other distributed object models: Java, COM, WOM => Pragmatic Object Web

Both use distributed objects as the base abstraction entity

CORBA viewed by DMSO as technology transfer platform to industry (via OMG consortium of 700+ companies)

Both domains will gradually include modern HPC technology insertions (NT clusters)

Our `97 roadmap / vision still right on target by mid `99...

The High Level Architecture is comprised of three elements:

Interface Specification or Run-Time Infrastructure
Object Model Template (OMT) Specification
HLA Rules for Federates and Federations.

Our design is based on 10 CORBA interfaces, including

6 Managers (Federation, Declaration, Object, Ownership, Time, Data Distribution),
2 Ambassadors (RTI, Federate) and
2 Integrators (FederationExecution and RTIKernel).

Since each Manager is mapped to an independent CORBA object, we can easily provide minimal support for distributed management by simply placing individual managers on different hosts.

This project is collaboration between NPAC and Ft. Belvoir, VA, sponsored by DoD HPCMO.

CMS (Comprehensive Mine Simulator) cooperates with ModSAF vehicles and is used by Ft. Belvoir for countermine R&D.

NPAC developed Parallel CMS for Origin2000, to be followed by WebHLA based Metacomputing CMS (on a distributed meta-cluster of HPC systems)

Korea, Kuweit military operations used minefields of 1M+ mines - HPC is needed to simulate such systems

Conservative algorithms impose one or more constraints

Object interactions limited to just "neighbors" (e.g., Chandy-Misra)
Object interactions have non-zero time scales (e.g., lookahead)
Object interactions follow FIFO constraint

Optimistic algorithms impose no constraints but require a more sophisticated engine

Support for rollbacks (and advanced features for rollforward)
Require flow control to provide stability
Optimistic approaches support real-time applications better...

The most important thing is for applications to develop their models to maximize parallelism

The simulation will not execute in parallel faster than the critical path
