Applying MDA to Generate Hadoop Based Scientific Computing Applications

The paper presents an attempt to develop and deploy a functioning MDA (Model-Driven Architecture) model of a distributed scientific application. The main focus is a problem of modeling high performance computing processes in a visual notation and automatic generation of an executable code using the resulting diagrams. The article describes the efforts to create a platform independent model of process execution, transformation it into a platform specific model and, finally, automatic generation an application code. The research novelty includes a platform independent model of the classic hydrodynamics problem, equivalent Hadoop based platform specific model and the testing results that confirm feasibility of the research.
