Abstract

Recently, many attentions have been paid to conducting convergence research across diverse disciplines. Along with this convergence era, an IT-based multi-disciplinary convergence project, called EDISON (EDucation-research Integrated Simulation On the Net), has been launched to support the studies of researchers engaged in several computational science and engineering (CSE) fields and to boost learning motivations of CSE students. Since 2011, we have been successfully carrying out the EDISON project. EDISON as a cyber-learning platform enables CSE researchers to share their own high-performance computing (HPC) simulation softwares developed to solve their research problems accompanying large-scale computation and I/O and users to run the softwares with little constraints on the web. Also, the EDISON platform has been utilized as lecture material by many universities in Korea. This article introduces the construction and service statistics of this EDISON platform. Specifically, we explicate several distinctions between EDISON and existing other HPC service platforms and discuss a three-layered technical architecture of the EDISON platform. We then present the up-to-date service statistics of EDISON over the past four years. Finally, we conclude this article and describe future plans.
