5 Data Paths to the NEEShub

1. Synchronees – A tool to move data to group data and ensure others in your group can update your data.

2. webdav – A standard Windows or MacOS interface to upload/download using a web file browser

3. Project Editor – A component of NEEShub web site used to copy data directly to the NEES Project Warehouse

4. PEN – A custom java tool used to move data and metadata directly to the NEES Project Warehouse

5. Web Services Scripts – written by site power users with the Web Services API to get or put data directly into the NEES Project Warehouse.

Also supporting utilities:ftp (to neesws.neeshub.org)

sftp, scp (to nees.org)

/home directory quota

• Default is 1GB • When you need more, open a ticket and

NEESComm IT will increase this to 10GB. • If you still need more, then consider shared

group space or request a custom amount

Data Management

Manage your home directory space- default 1GB- open ticket to increase

Home space management

Optionally you can open a workspace which provides a Linuxpromt to traverse and remove files and directories.

Tool Contribution

• NEES Tool Concept – Extremely simple to start tools for users. Slightly more difficult for tool contributor to setup.

• Tool Contribution Flow– Request space (svn tree)– Use svn to upload data to NEES svn – Request IT to “install” latest snv tree to dev – Test dev version– Request IT to publish tool

Teragrid and OSG sessions

• Simulations in the NEEShub run on execution servers managed by NEESComm IT. Currently this is two 16-core servers running Debian Linux.

• How do we provide more resource to simulations launched from the hub such as Teragrid and OSG?

• HUBzero provides a universal API (submit) for sending workload to remote systems such as Teragrid and OSG.

• Integration of OSG and submit planned for NEEShub release3, July 2011. – NEES now is a registered Virtual Organization with OSG.

Page 29

Summary

• NEEShub is “the cloud” for running cyber simulation for earthquake engineers.

• A rich tool management environment is available for a growing number of simulation tools and user interfaces for simulators. – This is just a start. We need to reach out to tool

and model developers.
