Concerning the construction of integrated application of "modeling, computation, analysis, optimization" workflow under High Performance Computing (HPC) environment, HPC Simulation Workflow Application Platform (HSWAP) supporting numerical simulation software encapsulation and numerical simulation workflow interaction design was developed. Firstly, based on the modeling of runtime characteristics of numerical simulation activities, the component model was built. Then, the control and data dependency relationships between simulation activities were represented by the workflow, creating a formal numerical simulation workflow model. The formed workflow model was able to be automatically parsed in the platform to adapt to HPC resources. Therefore, HSWAP platform could be used for automatic generation and scheduling of a batch of related numerical simulation tasks, screening technical details of HPC resources from domain users. The platform provided Web Portal services, which supports the push of interactive interfaces of graphical numerical simulation programs. The platform is already deployed and applied at Supercomputing Center and with this platform, the integration of numerical simulation workflows with up to 10 numerical simulation softwares and 20 computing task nodes can be completed in 2 person-month.
