The Workbench Project

Author

Introduction

This project is a work in progress. The purpose is to create a web application front-end to manage a simulation project. The basic idea and functionality follows the Sentaurus Workbench, but the architecture is different in significant ways.

The Workbench Project is intended to be a more general purpose, cloud native simulation project management tool. Here are the main goals for the web application front-end:

• maintain the flow of simulation stages

• maintain the table of parameter configurations in each stage

• display the status of the simulations

• import and export the simulation configuration data

• communicate with the simulation server

Current Status (screenshots)

Feature wishlist

• Code editor and execution

  • (!!!) Compose and execute a unit simulation entirely within front-end
  • Integrate monaco-editor
  • UI as a calculator for immediate verification (python console at bottom)

• Core data structure

  • (!!!) Tool dependency and flow
    • DAG
    • Parallel execution of simulation tasks
  • Tree of parameters (to fold the table)
  • Project manager: SimulationProject

• UI component style

  • Use ReactGrid
  • Consistency
  • Intelligence

• Logging

  • (!!!) Roll-back / undo
  • Display log for every action from user in system message window
  • Exporting log
  • Workspace reconstruction from log
  • Log as script

• Folder content explorer

  • Interact with the simulation server
  • Investigate file content in an elementary simulation project
  • Integrate Box-UI Content Explorer
  • Integrate react-file-tree

• Control

  • Strategy for task execution priority

Demands are welcome

If you have any idea or specific demand, please let me know by opening an issue.

Urgent demands are prioritized only after you become a patron of the project, or fuck the repo on your own. Contact me at yunlong.lian@proton.me for details.
