Abstract

Emerging scientific and engineering simulations often require the coupling of multiple physics models and associated parallel codes that execute independently and in a distributed manner. Realizing these simulations in distributed environments presents several challenges. This paper describes experiences with wide-area coupling for a coupled fusion simulation using the Seine coupling framework. Seine provides a dynamic geometry-based virtual shared space abstraction and supports flexible, efficient and scalable coupling, data redistribution and data streaming. The design and implementation of the coupled fusion simulation using Seine, and an evaluation of its performance and overheads in a wide-area environment are presented.
