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.
