Development of digital web platform for supercomputer modeling of particle deposition on substrates

Abstract

The work considers the construction of a modern digital platform for supercomputer modeling the problems of particles deposition on substrates. The web-based approach is proposed that makes it possible to form the unified user system for carrying out the full cycle of numerical calculation, including the configuration of applied applications, their launch on remote computing resources, monitoring of the task, analysis of the results, and interactive visualization. At the same time, the interaction with supercomputers and clusters is implemented through a graphical interface that does not require to have additional software, except for a web browser. Another advantage is the possibility of conducting a multi-user computational experiment, arising from the natural principles of building client-server platforms, in which specialists from different fields can access up-to-date data obtained during modeling. The digital web platform has been tested on KIAM clusters, and it is also used for group training of MIPT students in modern information technologies. This work is devoted to the discussion of the general architecture, the technological stack and the resulting user interface.
