An Interactive Problem Modeller and PDE Solver, Distributed on Large Scale Architectures

http://lifc.univ-fcomte.fr/dfma07/International audienceThis paper introduces a research project and a software environment to speed up and size up problem modeling with Partial Differential Equations (PDE). These PDE are defined from a \Mathematica interface, and are automatically solved by a devoted cellular automata program generated to be run on mainframes, clusters and Grids. Moreover, an interactive and graphic control of the cellular automata running allows to analyze the PDE model relevance. This environment improves large scale simulation usage in early stages of research projects
