Descripción

A simulation using a specific code implies many steps, some of its difficult to be accomplished by any user. Therefore, the utilization of the Monte Carlo codes associated with distributed calculus systems, places where the codes can be configured and optimized, is a better way due to the specific features. Taking into account the scientific tasks in different international collaborations in the High Energy Physics field, as well as the educational programs for Master and PhD degrees, at the Computing Laboratory of the Research Center „Nuclear matter in extreme conditions” from the Atomic and Nuclear Physics Chair, Faculty of Physics, University of Bucharest, the YaPT system – Yet another High Energy Physics Tool was created [1-3]. The main vulnerabilities of web applications have been taken into account. Specific procedures and the integration of different security mechanisms have been included for solving these aspects. Using few simulation codes frequently used in High Energy Physics fields – UrQMD and AMPT, mainly – we compared 12 functionalities (possibility for simulation type control, multiple simulations in the same time, download of the simulation results, analysis of the results, search of the results after the input simulation parameters, notification for the simulation end etc.) of 5 such systems (JetWeb, HepWeb, IguanaCMS, PPCW and YaPT) existing at different laboratories. The YaPT system has all these functionalities, permitting easy understanding and utilization. The other systems have between 1 and 5 functionalities from our list. We tested these functionalities during practical classes at Mater and PhD study programs, too, with good results. Therefore, we can affirm that the YaPT system offers good opportunities, both for research and education.
