Background information

• Quarry vm on gw165.iu.xsede.org image info
• from Michael Banks

I am currently building a web application that allows users to simulate the fluid flow past a cylinder via a connection to the San Diego Supercomputer Center. 
The user needs to be able to choose from a list of parameters before they run the simulation.
The output will be a single .mpg no more than 35Mb in size and plots for lift and drag.
The video will not be saved for more than a few days.

• application name is "vortexshedding"

• now on jetstream.

maintenance notes

• to regen:

$ cd /src/genapp; sudo -u ehb svn up; cd /opt/genapp/vortexshedding; sudo -Eu mbanks genapp.pl

• to report on usage

$ /opt/genapp/vortexshedding/output/html5/util/jobs_history.php

done

• [done] unique project as a function of input fields
• [done] add video output support
• [done] add project to svn
• [done] captcha
• [done] add input cache
• [done] historical usage report under admin
  • [done] date range and jobs ran and failed in a period would be of interest.
• [done] verify output clear (was a bugfix)

todo

• center module option
• input display predefined image
• input display predefined video
• cached names with 'hidden'?
• limiting job submission, max "expensive" job limit, admin override
  • ? fifo queue of jobs
• precomputed jobs with increment creator ("batch option")
• user levels
  • self select
  • ? determine high school vs grad student / full demographic info
• cancel job propagate to comet
• email activation
• minimal view
• k-12, undergrad, grad
  • add field levels and level control ?
• Table of standard parameter sets (to be decided by Prof. Pearlstein) with corresponding movie for general consumption
• handle long running jobs appropriately
  • make movie of available frames?
  • advanced users - tailing some output file
  • partial image and/or step #
• remove full path from textarea
• an option for gateways monitor the genapp-commits mailing list or poll the svn for revision # and rebuild (at some specific schedule)

speculative

• project groups ?
  • define group in module.json
  • have output go into the named group instead of user tree
  • add users belonging to group have access to reattach
  • optionally autocheck specified project in group for results and return that instead
