Foil 14 Web Technologies at NPAC: WebAMR Example

From Problem Solving Environments from Simulation, Medicine and Defense using the Web CRPC Annual Meeting -- May 14-17 1996. by Geoffrey Fox, Wojtek Furmanski


We illustrate here how the individual component technologies cooperate in a complete application, WebAMR (Adaptive Mesh Refinement)
A mesh of computationally extended Web servers, connected via HTTP based message passing, acts as WebVM that runs PDE solver modules for individual grids
In a simple static AMR topology (WebWork model), a tree of refined meshes is constructed by the user via the AVS like visual programming tools (WebFlow)
Dynamic AMR trees require interpreted programming support -- a pilot "little language" design towards WebHPL
WebAMR applications can be configured and run on heterogeneous clusters, including any WebWindows compliant platform
Example of WebTop System in this domain in a set of WebVM/WebFlow modules, packaged and customized as a PDE Toolkit for a given Grand Challenge community.
