COST724 Server Inter Process Communication on different machines implemented in PHP...
Description • Inter Process Communication (IPC) through TCP/IP client-server architecture • Transferring of input and output files by using the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) • Socket to socket communication between PHP scripts • Current implementation allows the execution of models located on the server machine through a WWW interface.
Features • A WWW interface handles the generation of input and control data • Transfer of input and control data from the local server to the remote server running the models • Local storage on remote server • Execution of the model on the remote server • Transfer of output data and completion code from the remote server back to the local server • Postprocessing of output data on local server • Presentation of model run result files to the user

Models • Currently implemented: • Geomagnetic cutoff calculations using Størmer's formula, based on routines used in SPENVIS (provided by D. Heynderickx) • Geomagnetic cutoff calculations using a Runge-Kutta procedure (provided by K. Kudela and M. Storini) • Under development: • Magnetocosmics (provided by L. Desorgher) • Ionospheric model (provided by J. Lilenstein)
