Large-scale Computational Science Applications using the SCIRun Problem Solving Environment

In this paper we describe applications of the SCIRun system to large-scale computational science problems. SCIRun is a scientific problem solving environment that allows the interactive construction and steering of large-scale scientific computations. A scientific application is constructed by connecting computational elements (modules) to form a program (network). This program may contain several computational elements as well as several visualization elements, all of which work together in orchestrating a solution to a scientific problem. Geometric inputs and computational parameters may be changed interactively, and the results of these changes provide immediate feedback to the investigator.
