Rapid
Rapid development and deployment of job-submission portals
Josep is a postgraduate student at the Computer Science Department. He is visiting our group as part of the HPC-EUROPA2 programme where he will use our expertise on web portals and parallel computing for the Parallel-TCoffee sequence alignment software.
PERFORMING A COMPREHENSIVE STUDY OF THE SCALABILITY OF THE PARALLEL VERSION OF THE APPLICATION TCOFFEE.
The objective of this six-month pilot project was to provide a simplified system to perform analysis of seismic waveform data through a web browser. The specific aims were that no data or application be download to the user’s computer, for the user to create algorithms to customise the analysis and to allow sharing of algorithms within the seismological community.
Rapid is a cost-effective and efficient way of designing and delivering portal interfaces to applications that require remote compute resources. The aim of Rapid is to make completing these tasks as simple as ordering a DVD or booking a flight on the web.

We show a quick prototype where Rapid is integrated with the Open Microscopy Environment developed in Dundee (http://www.openmicroscopy.org/) to allow analysis and visualisation of microscopy images on remote compute resources.
We show a 2-minute screencast of the installation of Rapid that includes LifeRay as the portal. Shows how to get the basic "Hello World!" portlet gets installed into the portal. You need Flash installed in the browser to watch the video below. Click here for a large version
The plugin system is changed, with an 'execute' and a 'retrieve output' phase.
Plugins report errors better.
The <onload> event is added, which is triggered when a new page is loaded.
UI elements <editor>,<checkbox> and <checkboxlist> are added.
Rapid now supports Pluto versions 1 and 2 and a 'minimal' JSR168 version.
Final project report for JISC, with links to all individually created deliverables and progress posts. RapidSeis has produced a scientific gateway via a web portal that allows seismologist to pick up data from Orfeus—the central repository for earthquake data in Europe—and then run several analyses on these data. Advanced users can also create new analyses and share these with all the other users.
RapidSeis consists of two porlets that run within the NERIES portal. Both assume the user logged in has already filled his/her cart with seismological data.
