Next-generation scientific applications feature complex workflows comprised of many computing modules with intricate inter-module dependencies. Supporting such scientific workflows in wide-area networks especially Grids and optimizing their performance are crucial to the success of collaborative scientific discovery. We develop a Scientific Workflow Automation and Management Platform (SWAMP), which enables scientists to conveniently assemble, execute, monitor, control, and steer computing workflows in distributed environments via a unified web-based user interface. The SWAMP architecture is built entirely on a seamless composition of web services: the functionalities of its own are provided and its interactions with other tools or systems are enabled through web services for easy access over standard Internet protocols while being independent of different platforms and programming languages. SWAMP also incorporates a class of efficient workflow mapping schemes to achieve optimal end-to-end performance based on rigorous performance modeling and algorithm design. The performance superiority of SWAMP over existing workflow mapping schemes is justified by extensive simulations, and the system efficacy is illustrated by large-scale experiments on real-life scientific workflows for climate modeling through effective system implementation, deployment, and testing on the Open Science Grid. 相似文献
Layered perovskite Ca2.91Na0.09Ti2-xRhxO7 (x?=?0.00, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06) were synthesized by a conventional solid-state reaction. Room temperature ferroelectricity has been confirmed. The remanent polarization increases with an increase of Rh content, which is due to a larger oxygen octahedral distortion by Rh doping. The coercive field increases with Rh doping as the pinning effect of oxygen vacancies reduce the mobility of domain wall. Remanent polarization and coercive field are caused by different mechanisms, so it is possible to modulate them independently to meet the requirement of application in ferroelectric field. The concentration of oxygen vacancy increased with Rh doping, leading to the significant increase of leakage current density. The bandgap of samples doped with Rh drastically decrease and the visible light response of the sample was improved by Rh doping due to the formation of impurity energy levels within the band gap.
STEEL is the most widely used material in engineering,but unfortunately,steel exhibits poor wear resistanceand obvious contact corrosion.For decades,researchersprepared coatings on steel to improve its properties;ceramic is one of these coatings.To obtain ceramiccoatings on steel,many researchers use techniques suchas plasma spraying,laser cladding,etc.,but some ofthem are too expensive,some of them have a deep heataffected zone in the substrate,and some of them cannot bond well with the subs… 相似文献
The accurate estimation of the end-effector’s pose in large operating spaces is the key for the mobile manipulator to realize efficient manufacturing of large and complex components. We propose a novel pose tracking method in large-range using visual fiducial markers, and further propose the layout optimization method for the encoded fiducial markers. A metric named orientational dilution of precision (ODOP) is proposed to evaluate the magnification of the pose estimation error compared with the measurement error of the coded fiducial markers. The distribution pattern of the coded markers is analyzed based on ODOP, and the square-shaped layout is determined to be a satisfactory distribution pattern for the minimum positioning unit of markers, and the side length of the square-shaped layout is further selected. The simulations and experiments prove the effectiveness of the ODOP index. Finally, the square-shaped layout and the designed distribution density for positioning coded markers are adopted to realize the high-precision measurement of large components by the mobile manipulator.
