It is generally accepted that the ability to develop large‐scale distributed applications has
lagged seriously behind other developments in cyberinfrastructure. In this paper, we provide …

Fault-tolerance and failure recovery in scientific workflows is still a relatively young topic.
The work done in the domain so far mostly applies classic fault-tolerance mechanisms, such …

The purpose of the Fusion Simulation Project is to develop a predictive capability for
integrated modeling of magnetically confined burning plasmas. In support of this mission …

Abstract Workflow Management Systems (WFMS), such as Kepler, are proving to be an
important tool in scientific problem solving. They can automate and manage complex …

In order to understand the complex physics of mother nature, physicist often use many
approximations to understand one area of physics and then write a simulation to reduce …

As storage systems get larger to meet the demands of petascale systems, careful planning
must be applied to avoid congestion points and extract the maximum performance. In …

The effects of plasma sha** on the H-mode pedestal structure are investigated. High
fidelity kinetic simulations of the neoclassical pedestal dynamics are combined with the …
