WEB-CENTRIC LS-DYNA
The Internet has changed the way business is done – and High Performance Computing (HPC) is no exception. Many firms have launched “dot-com” software to facilitate B2B collaboration, outsource jobs, provide engineering services, or exchange data with suppliers and partners. Recently, however, hundreds of dot-coms have failed, and many high-tech companies have laid off thousands of workers. Now what? The term ASP (application service provider) has become popular in the past several years. ASPs deliver and manage applications and services remotely for multiple users – either through the Internet or a private network. An ASP owns the relationship with the end-user customer. Security tops the list of customers’ concerns. Hundreds of ASPs have sprung up, but most of these (e.g., Exodus, Qwest, Corio, EDS, Applicast, etc.) host computing services for commercial applications rather than technical ones. This paper introduces some basic concepts in portal supercomputing and ASPs, and suggests future directions LSTC and its worldwide distributors may wish to consider to web-enable LS-DYNA to make it accessible to a wider engineering community.
