Reloading Cached Simulation Results

Go through run*.xml files and pull out input values:

tool: cntbands-ext
version: 18
input.chirality.CarbonTypeN: 3
input.chirality.CarbonTypeM: 7
input.temperature: 300K
input.structure.? <- handle this case?
...

Be careful:

• handle 300.0K vs. 300K vs. 300000mK (see Rappture::LibraryObj::value)
• nevermind "ignore" directive in inputs
• Use Rappture::library (trunk/lang/tcl/scripts/library.tcl)
• See Rappture Tcl API

MD5 function in Tcl (just like md5sum)

• C lang function with Tcl bindings Tcl_CreateCommand() -- use Tcl_GetByteArrayFromObj()
• Put with rest of Tcl extensions in trunk/lang/tcl/src

MySQL interface within Tcl

• Add to rappture-runtime

Database

All known results are compiled in a "database" of some sort. Store data in the file system:

/data
  /results
    /toolName
      /subversionRevision
        /1b/2f/33/run1212435-1b2f33229129392921...192.xml
         -- -- --    ------- ------------------------
         first       time    MD5 hash
         few digits  stamp
         of MD5

• Keep log files with metadata in this same directory structure?
• Build a MySQL database table for metadata?

Either way...

• Keep track of run time
• Keep track of what runs a particular user did in a particular session
• Compute each result for the user, and then recompute ourselves (trusted way) and store that as cached result
• Allow trusted users to deposit results?
• Mark results as untrusted?
