An Open Extensible Multi-Target Application Generation Tool for Simple Rapid Deployment of Multi-Scale Scientific Codes

Abstract

Combining modules wrapping a diversity of executable codes derived from various scientific research labs with a range of computational and data scales into a sustainable framework requires careful considerations. In the described framework, we have separated the module's executable codes from the user-interface and created an application generation tool which produces all the code necessary to create a web based science gateway simultaneously with a local GUI based application. This work was driven by requirements related to an international collaborative grant. This ongoing development is producing applications and will be in the hands of beta testers at the time of this publication.
