An integrated problem solving environment:the SCIRun computational steering system

摘要

SCIRun is a scientific programming environment that allows the interactive construction,debugging and steering of large-scale scientific computations.We review related systems and introduce a taxonomy that explores different computational steering solutions.Considering these approaches,we discuss why a tightly integrated problem solving environment,such as SCIRun,simplifies the design and debugging phases of computational science applications and how such an environment aids in the scientific discovery process.
