Desenvolvimento de uma ferramenta web para construção de aplicações na plataforma de computação de alto desempenho orientada a componentes HPC-Shelf

Abstract

Taking as background the component-oriented high-performance computing platform HPC-Shelf, was identified a need to one of HPC-Shelf’s objectives, which is to provide an environment in which developers can build highly computational applications and user can get the best of this applications. To attend this demand was conceived the web tool IShelf, that provides a set of interfaces to aid the developers to build theirs applications graphically showing the core concepts of HPC-Shelf, such as components and workflows, allowing that this elements are dynamically manipulated on interface and registered on the plataform. To do that was defined a development process that contains the phases of gathering and analysis of requeriments, prototyping, modeling, implementation, testing, and validation of the solution. On the last development phase was used a quality evaluation to measure how much effort was necessary to accomplish common tasks on IShelf context. Finally, this paper presents, in addition to the experience report on development, the description of the results obtained on the execution of the process.
