A new release candidate that adds the undo/redo support in groovy editor #138

Distribution of a data intensive simulation on EGEE (biomed) with the development version of SimExplorer (Workflow version).

data size : 33 MB of data / job

total : 50 GB of results

Note : SimExplorer, provides transparent data compression during file transfers. It hasn't exchanged 50 GB of raw data with the grid.

A simulation of in self propelled has been encapsulated into SimExplorer (workflow version) from a version running on a SGE (Sun Grid Engine) cluster. The integration effort has long last than an hour.

1562 jobs have been executed the following design :

design.addExperimentalFactor(new ExperimentalFactor<BigDecimal>(eta,new RangeBigDecimal("0.0","0.3","0.01")));
design.addExperimentalFactor(new ExperimentalFactor<BigDecimal>(angle,new RangeBigDecimal("0.0","5.0","0.1")));

The launching command is described has follow:

"./follow_me_2d_gaussianNnr 1045674222 1000 4 128 ${eta} ${angle} 50 0.01 1000000 fm_${eta}_${angle}.dat"

Each job runs in 45 minutes. The execution of the 1562 experiments would have require 48,8 day on a single computer (48,8 days / CPU). It has been executed in 9,8 hours on the biomed grid. The crunching factor is 118,7. The bottleneck was the slow Internet connection the experiment has been executed from (1 MB/s upstream speed transfer).

A new release candidate before releasing the final 0.2 soon.

Main Improvements :

• Many IHM bug fix #122 #125 #135 #137
• New plan: Groovy plan to build your own plan
• Add jar to your groovy script
• New font for the groovy editor

RC7 needs xml application migration. It concerns <GroovyProcessor> nodes. <groovyCode> nodes and <localjars> nodes need to be encapsulated into a <groovyShellProxy> node.

for example:

GroovyProcessor node in RC6

...
<org.simexplorer.methods.processors.GroovyProcessor>
 <metadata>
   <name>GroovyProcessor</name>
 </metadata>
 <state>READY</state>
 <localjars class="linked-list">
     ...
 </localjars>
 <jars class="linked-list"/>
 <groovyCode>
     ...
 </groovyCode>
</org.simexplorer.methods.processors.GroovyProcessor>

GroovyProcessor node in RC7:

...
<org.simexplorer.methods.processors.GroovyProcessor>
 <metadata>
   <name>GroovyProcessor</name>
 </metadata>
 <state>READY</state>
 <groovyShellProxy>
   <localjars class="linked-list">
     ...
   </localjars>
   <groovyCode>
     ...
   </groovyCode>
 </groovyShellProxy>
 <jars class="linked-list"/>
</org.simexplorer.methods.processors.GroovyProcessor>
