VO-KOREL is a web service exploiting the technology of Virtual Observatory
for providing the astronomers with the intuitive graphical front-end and
distributed computing back-end running the most recent version of Fourier
disentangling code KOREL.
The system integrates the ideas of the e-shop basket, conserving the privacy
of every user by transfer encryption and access authentication, with features
of laboratory notebook, allowing the easy housekeeping of both input parameters
and final results, as well as it explores a newly emerging technology of cloud
computing.
While the web-based front-end allows the user to submit data and parameter
files, edit parameters, manage a job list, resubmit or cancel running jobs and
mainly watching the text and graphical results of a disentangling process, the
main part of the back-end is a simple job queue submission system executing in
parallel multiple instances of FORTRAN code KOREL. This may be easily extended
for GRID-based deployment on massively parallel computing clusters.
The short introduction into underlying technologies is given, briefly
mentioning advantages as well as bottlenecks of the design used.
