Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention pertains to a system and method for a set of middleware components for supporting the execution of computational applications on high-performance computing platform. A specific embodiment of this invention was used to deploy a financial risk application on Blue Gene/L parallel supercomputer. The invention is relevant to any application where the input and output data are stored in external sources, such as SQL databases, where the automatic pre-staging and post-staging of the data between the external data sources and the computational platform is desirable. This middleware provides a number of core features to support these applications including for example, an automated data extraction and staging gateway, a standardized high-level job specification schema, a well-defined web services (SOAP) API for interoperability with other applications, and a secure HTML/JSP web-based interface suitable for non-expert and non-privileged users.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A computer system, comprising: a high performance computing (HPC) platform comprising a plurality of processors for executing parallel processings; and a set of middleware components, as executed by at least one processor in said computer system, providing a capability for inputting to the high performance computing platform a synchronization and a scheduling of individual data transfer and computing tasks on the high performance computing platform, wherein the se…
