    SimPortal is a grid portal for OpenSees that allows users to run OpenSees simulations on remote computational servers accessed through NEEScentral. The OpenSees GUI is implemented as a Java applet within SimPortal for seamless access to distributed data and computational resources. SimPortal provides tools for generating, validating, and customizing OpenSees scripts as well as monitoring jobs and accessing results. Users can organize simulations, upload and download scripts/data, submit jobs, and publish results through a web interface without installing software locally. SimPortal is currently deployed online and work is ongoing to integrate it with NEEScentral and enable parallel computing capabilities.

    SimPortal: Grid Portal for OpenSees


    Tomasz Haupt
    Center for Advanced Vehicular Systems Mississippi State University

    Portal Developers: Anand Kalyanasundaram, Igor Zhuk

    What is SimPortal?
    The objective of SimPortal is to add a computational simulation component for the NEESit by providing a Grid Portal for the Open System for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (OpenSees). The OpenSees graphical user interface (GUI) is implemented as a Java applet. The applet seamlessly communicates the NEEScentral to run the OpenSees simulations on remote computers (computational servers) designated by the NEEScentral administrator. (currently under development)

    Advantages of a Portal:
    no installation, automatic upgrades tools for generating and validating scripts seamless access to distributed data sets (ground motion data, NEESgrid repositories) integration with visualization tools seamless access to HPC resources

    SimPortal Components
    repository
    SimPortal Applet
    local file system

    Share scripts and data across the community

    workspace
    Get scripts and data from the repository or your local disk and build OpenSees simulations Use portal tools to customize the simulations

    job table
    monitor your jobs access the results maintain provenance

    job submission service


    Run the simulations on computers provided by NEESit
    (soon also High-Performance for parallel OpenSees)

    Sequence of User Actions


    Login to Portal Set the back-end credentials

    Login to the portal and set the credentials To run a new simulation
    Create a simulation in the workspace Upload the script and data either from your local file system or from the repository Modify the script and data as needed Submit job (selecting the target system and number of processors Wait until the simulation completes View std.out and std.err. If simulation completed correctly download the data Open the simulation in the workspace Modify the script as needed and submit it Wait until the simulation complete and download the results

    Upload scripts and data to the repository

    Create a simulation Populate the simulation with scripts and data from the repository

    Download scripts and data from the repository

    To run an existing simulation


    Publish scripts and data

    Edit Scripts

    Submit Monitor the status Download results Publish results

    To upload data and scripts to the repository or download scripts and data from the repository without opening or creating a simulation
    Use the repository interface

    Example Screen Shots: Workspace

    Workspace: The user can organize his simulations into a tree

    Example Screen Shots: Simulation

    A simulation comprises a number of scripts and data files organized into folders. Each script can be viewed and edited. Syntax errors, if any, are detected.

    Customizing a script (1)

    A 3D model of the simulated structure is displayed. Click on the element of interest and a file that contains the definition of the element will be open and the code highlighted.

    Customizing a script (2)

    Modify the code in the editor and you can see the effect instantly.

    Accessing Results
    For each submitted job the user can view and download all output files, including the stdout and stderr. The results generated by node recoder can be animated in the portal as well. In addition, the provenance of the simulation is preserved: the scripts, input data and the value of parameters used for the run.

    Standalone SimPortal

    Standalone SimPortal
    OpenSees and SimPortal are installed on the local machine. All scripts and datafiles are stored on the local machine.

    Standalone SimPortal Installation (alpha)


    Download and install OpenSees from the Berkeley OpenSees site. Install Java and Java3D. Download the binary package from neesforge: http://neesforge.nees.org/projects/simportal/ Configure SimPortal by editing ecs.standalone.properties for the OpenSees location, script storage location and run directory locations (described in the readme file). Start SimPortal using the provided runscript.

    Current Status
    The portal is deployed at
    http://neesphere.sdsc.edu

    Off-line Standalone SimPortal

    Current Status
    We are gathering the feedback for early users
    Already we got suggestions for making the interface more user friendly Already we got suggestions for new features to be added

    We are integrating the SimPortal with NEEScentral We are working on providing support for running parallel OpenSees on High-Performance systems provided by NEES (SDSC and TeraGrid)
