Chesapeake Bay data in CVE with Cave5D/Virtual Director

Collaborative Virtual Environment


Summary of Accomplishments• Developed 3D modeling & coupling capability in SME

– Application: coupled bio/hydro model of Chesapeake Bay

• Developed web portal & simulation server– Workspace management & model development– Simulation configuration, command-control, and visualization

• SME integrations– VisAD, globus/Cog, JPython, Swarm, Grass & ArcInfo

• Developed & integrated a model calibration toolkit• SME ports

– Origin 2000 & Linux clusters

• SME support– Code hardening, packaging, documentation, training workshops


SME Support & Code Hardening

• Status: ongoing.

• Develop & enhance SME components

• SME upkeep, bug fixes, and documentation

• SME user support

• Training workshops

• Priorities set by user feedback


SME-VisAD Integration

• Status: phase 1 complete, phase 2 optional

• Integrate VisAD with SME portal.

• Phase 1: Implement 3D animation viewer – Zoom, pan & rotate– Rescaling and colormap editing

• Phase 2: Integrate VisAD & SME Python shells

3D Animation Viewer


SME Portal development: JPython shell

• Status: In progress, phase 1 complete

• Develop a jpython shell component of SMEP– command & control – configuration, visualization & output post-processing, – integrate grid/portal functionality

• Phase 1: Implement shell component – C&C, config, viz, & post-processing

• Phase 2: Integrate Alliance grid & portal functionality


SME Python Shell


SME Portal Deployment

• Status: Not yet started.

• Integrate SME java portal into OPIE

• Integrate java Webstart technology into SME portal.


SME port to Linux cluster

• Status: In progress

• Port SME to the Alliance Linux cluster– Run test models

• Implement globus connections – SME sim server SME kernel (on cluster)

– SME client SME kernel (on cluster)


SME RPM installer

• Status: complete

• Develop a SME.rpm package – automate installation and updating of SME

• Phase 1: Scripts for SME auto-build process• Phase 2: Spec files and SME.rmp package

• Requires dependent packages (java) to be installed as rpm packages


• Links components: – Circulation

• Rutgers- OM

– Ecology • Maryland- SME

– Atmospheric coupling

Linked Ocean Model


SME-Ocean Model Integration

• Status: in progress

• Coastal Ocean Modeling Workbench

– Coastal zone management

– Climate change research

• Integrate SME with Rutgers ocean models• Component Framework (CCA/CCAFFEINE?)• Grid enabled• Linux cluster


SME-Ocean Model Integration• Single Component Multiple Data (SCMD) architecture.• CCA (CCAFFEINE) command and control.• SME Portal integrated into OPIE.• Globus-gram resource allocation.
