Simulation is a fast, controlled, and reproducible way to evaluate new algorithms for distributed computing platforms in a variety of conditions. However, the realism of simulations is rarely assessed, which critically questions the applicability of a whole range of findings. … Read More
The SciTech research team wishes you a wonderful 2017! In 2016, we had a great year and several accomplishments. Among them, we highlight the LIGO’s discovery early this year and how the Pegasus team has contributed to LIGO’s software infrastructure. … Read More
Scientific workflows have become mainstream for conducting large-scale scientific research. As a result, many workflow applications and Workflow Management Systems (WMSs) have been developed as part of the cyberinfrastructure to allow scientists to execute their applications seamlessly on a range … Read More
Gordon Moore’s 1965 prediction of continued semiconductor device down-scaling and circuit up-scaling has become a self-fulfilling prophesy in the past 40 years. Open source code development and sharing of the process modeling software SUPREM and the circuit modeling software SPICE … Read More
In most scientific domains, results are now obtained thanks to computational science that heavily relies on numerical simulations. This in turn leads to an tremendous increase in size and complexity of the needed computing infrastructures. The performance assessment of such … Read More
