Popis: Benefiting and accessing high-performance computing resources can be quite difficult. Unlike domain scientists with a background in computational science, non-experts coming from, e.g., various medical fields, have almost no chance to run numerical simulations on large-scale systems. To provide easy access and a user-friendly interface to supercomputers, a web-based service portal, which under the hood takes care of authentication, authorization, job submission, and interaction with a simulation framework is presented. The service is exemplary developed around a simulation framework capable of efficiently running computational fluid dynamics simulations on high-performance computers. The framework uses a lattice-Boltzmann method to simulate and analyze respiratory flows. The implementation of such a web-portal allows to steer the simulation and represents a new diagnostic tool in the field of ear, nose, and throat treatment.
