The AMROEBA-EA (Adaptive Mesh Refinement Optical Enzo Backplane Architecture Enabled Application) project investigates the potential for conducting data-intensive Enzo simulations on a distributed infrastructure based on dynamic lightpath provisioning. This project is investigating new mechanisms that allow Enzo processes to understand changing requirements for resources under dynamic conditions, to discover those resources, even if remote, and to optimize their use. |
