Deploy simulation on google cloud as proof of concept #238

Open prismofeverything opened 6 years ago

prismofeverything commented 6 years ago

Per our discussion here I am going to be building out a proof of concept deployment using google cloud. My plan is to run the fitter, simulation and analyses using a single VM, with output being written to google storage. In order to do this I will be replicating the environment that Jerry has set up as a VM snapshot so that we will be able to allocate them as needed.

This is the first step in what (if successful) will be a more robust implementation of the simulation that will be able to scale out to an arbitrary number of nodes, in support of Eran and Lee's collaboration of embedding the simulation in an agent based context.

This sounds great. In our meeting next week lets discuss what is needed to go multi-scale and whether google cloud can meet those needs. It will require deploying several runs of the WCM in parallel, and frequent message passing between those runs and an environmental "super-simulation".
