Abstract
The invention pertains to a system and method for a set of middleware components for supporting the execution of computational applications on high-performance computing platform. A specific embodiment of this invention was used to deploy a financial risk application on Blue Gene/L parallel supercomputer. The invention is relevant to any application where the input and output data are stored in external sources, such as SQL databases, where the automatic pre-staging and post-staging of the data between the external data sources and the computational platform is desirable. This middleware provides a number of core features to support these applications including for example, an automated data extraction and staging gateway, a standardized high-level job specification schema, a well-defined web services (SOAP) API for interoperability with other applications, and a secure HTML/JSP web-based interface suitable for non-expert and non-privileged users.
