The Turbine Gateway, an application developed by the CRD’s Joshua Boverhof for DOE’s Carbon Capture Simulation Initiative, recently earned honorable mention in a competition sponsored by Amazon Web Services. The gateway provides a web application and execution environment for running and managing scientific applications (like AspenTech’s AspenPlus) and storing and archiving results. Utilizing TSG, simulation runs that would take months on a single machine can be done overnight on EC2, running tens of thousands of simulations on hundreds of Spot instances and saving over 70 percent on EC2 compute costs.
