VLab: A Collaborative Grid/Portal System for Computations of Materials Properties at High Pressures and Temperatures

ORAL

Abstract

We describe the development of a collaborative service-oriented architecture, the VLab, which handles from a single workflow the concurrent and distributed execution of multiple tasks involved in complex sequences of first principles calculations of materials properties at high pressures and temperatures. We demonstrate the usefulness of this system through a consolidated portal interface.
