Application Integration Control System for Multi-Scale and Multi-PhysicsSimulation

In the case of long-period and large-scale simulation, unexpected stop which is caused by execution time excess, outage of computers, outage of a network during file transfer and so on, become major issues. To avoid the stop of job execution and file transfer, we have developed Task Flow Control System that is a new control system for application integration with a fault tolerant API. If the computer is outage, the system designates an alternate computer, gathers necessary files and submits a new job. Each scheduler, file transfer and job condition can be flexibly defined in XML. This time, we applied the system to fluid-structure interaction analysis simulation. The result indicates that the system enables a user to easily execute multi-scale and multi-physics simulation using application integration.
