Abstract
Nowadays, scientists in multiple research areas like material science,
structural biology, and drug design are supported by invaluable molecular
simulation tools. These tools allow analyzing increasingly complex
chemical structures on high-performance computing facilities. However,
the lack of graphical user interfaces, the limitation of the usability
of the tools and the complexity of infrastructures demands intuitive
user interfaces. The project MoSGrid (Molecular Simulation Grid)
addresses these issues by combining an easy to use portal-based infrastructure
with expert knowledge on the correct use of the complex methods.
The emerging portal will support the user in all stages of the simulation
process with easy access to data repositories storing information
about molecular properties and the possibility of creating, editing
and invoking workflows. The project integrates the UNICORE 6 grid
middleware and the cloud file system XtreemFS into the workflow-enabled
grid portal WS-PGRADE.
