TOMSK, Mar 15 – RIA Tomsk. Scientists of Tomsk State University (TSU) develop a computing cloud platform which will help engineers to accelerate development of elements of the space equipment, is reported on Wednesday on the website of the university.
It is specified that the platform will allow users to start the solution of set of typical tasks for gas dynamics and to obtain results in a graphical form without loading your computer. Analogs of similar computing systems are either very "heavy", and for their installation it is necessary to have the powerful computer, or don't provide the convenient interface. The project is supported by the "UMNIK" program of the Fund for assistance to innovations.
"We create a convenient working tool where all calculations are taken out in a cloud, and on the computer of the user only the graphic interface is installed, which is not more complicated than the browser, where the input of basic data and management are presented in simple and intuitively understandable form", – the project manager Konstantin Dobrychev is quoted in the message.
According to him, the development will be useful, first of all, in daily work to the engineers involved in aircraft construction and rocket production. Use of the distributed calculations in a cloud platform will allow to unload computers of experts for performance of other tasks.Dobrychev explained that users will receive the client application by means of which they will be able to enter data of tasks on the computer or the laptop, to operate process of the decision, and after its completion to download the results in a convenient form, including reports, graphs and 3D images.
In two years it is planned to create a computing kernel and "to teach" it to solve typical problems of gas dynamics. Scientists will work out the user interface, instruments for preparing and displaying of tasks, processings of results, will establish cooperation between the client application and cloud platform. Thus, the program prototype will be created. Developers plan that the cost of their product will be cheaper than similar programs.
