SEE-GRID Design Overview

Abstract

{This document describes the initial design of the SEE-GRID software in the Austrian Grid. SEE-GRID is based on the SEE++ software for the biomechanical simulation of the human eye. SEE++ was developed in the SEE-KID project by Upper Austrian Research and the Upper Austria University of Applied Sciences; it consists of a client component for user interaction and of a server component that runs various computations (currently “Hess Diagram Calculation” and “Pathology Fitting”, in the future also “Surgery Simulation”). The goal of SEE-GRID is to adapt and to extend SEE++ in several steps to make use of the grid: 1. The simulation component is transformed to a grid service. 2.“Hess Diagram Calculation” is parallelized and distributed over multiple grid nodes. 3.“Pathology Fitting” is parallelized and distributed over multiple grid nodes. 4. A grid database of “gaze patterns” is established with patterns derived …
