|
A chain of high performance applications is run repeatedly for different data sets
|
|
Each application can be run on several different platforms, depending on the problem size and the load of the machines
|
|
Input and output files must be moved between the machines, as needed
|
|
Output files are visually inspected by the researcher; if necessary applications are rerun with modified input files
|
|
Typically, output files must be converted to a different format before using them as input to the next application in the chain
