Page 2 Agenda Tools in NEEShub – Resources, categories, classification Using the Tool Portal in NEEShub – Communication with other users and developer, problems, reviews, usage Sessions and Data Management NEEShub Simulation Tools – OpenSees, other executable, downloadable Tool Contribution

Page 3 Tools in NEEShub “Tools” is the first of 9 Resource Categories in NEEShub

Page 4 NEEShub Resource Categories

Page 5 Tools in NEEShub This indicates the tool can be run “launched” in the hub. If it says “Download” you can download to your workstation and install But click here first to see portal Tool SubCategories 1.Simulation 2.Visualization 3.Telepresence 4.Data Management 5.EOT

Page 6 NEEShub Tool Portal These tabs and support button define the NEEShub Tool Portal for communication with other users developers, and adminstrators.

Page 21 5 Data Paths to the NEEShub 1.Synchronees – A tool to move data to group data and ensure others in your group can update your data. 2.webdav – A standard Windows or MacOS interface to upload/download using a web file browser 3.Project Editor – A component of NEEShub web site used to copy data directly to the NEES Project Warehouse 4.PEN – A custom java tool used to move data and metadata directly to the NEES Project Warehouse 5.Web Services Scripts – written by site power users with the Web Services API to get or put data directly into the NEES Project Warehouse. Also supporting utilities: ftp (to neesws.neeshub.org) sftp, scp (to nees.org )

Page 22 /home directory quota Default is 1GB When you need more, open a ticket and NEESComm IT will increase this to 10GB. If you still need more, then consider shared group space or request a custom amount

Page 23 My NEEShub Persistent tool sessions

Page 24 Hub Tool Sessions Active tool sessions

Page 25 Data Management Manage your home directory space - default 1GB - open ticket to increase

Page 26 Home space management Optionally you can open a workspace which provides a Linux promt to traverse and remove files and directories.

Page 27 Tool Contribution NEES Tool Concept – Extremely simple to start tools for users. Slightly more difficult for tool contributor to setup. Tool Contribution Flow – Request space (svn tree) – Use svn to upload data to NEES svn – Request IT to “install” latest snv tree to dev – Test dev version – Request IT to publish tool

Page 28 Teragrid and OSG sessions Simulations in the NEEShub run on execution servers managed by NEESComm IT. Currently this is two 16- core servers running Debian Linux. How do we provide more resource to simulations launched from the hub such as Teragrid and OSG? HUBzero provides a universal API (submit) for sending workload to remote systems such as Teragrid and OSG. Integration of OSG and submit planned for NEEShub release3, July – NEES now is a registered Virtual Organization with OSG.

Page 29 Summary NEEShub is “the cloud” for running cyber simulation for earthquake engineers. A rich tool management environment is available for a growing number of simulation tools and user interfaces for simulators. – This is just a start. We need to reach out to tool and model developers.
