XLcloud aims to define and demonstrate the principles of HPC as a Service (High Performance Computing) for all those applications that involve highly intensive calculations. XLcloud is designed as a collaborative tool that enables users to work together on highly sophisticated software in the Cloud, thus sidestepping the need for individuals to have to purchase expensive software on their own. XLcloud combines the expertise of companies and academics that are innovative in the field of high performance computer architectures and flow visualization HD/3D and video. While many Internet-based applications are now available on the Cloud, high-performance applications still face a number of technological obstacles before they are cloud ready. For example, high performance applications often need large capacity processing, lots of storage and huge network bandwidth, needs that are difficult to meet in today’s Cloud. In developing HPC as a Service (HaaS), XLcloud has identified the following high performance applications involving research and industrial innovation: * Research environments such as universities or technical institutes where high performance computing is a requirement, * Online game applications, * Online streaming video in real time, * Search engines in real time, * Online three-dimensional imaging for medical use.

# Pact Spring/JUnit5 Support This module extends the base [Pact JUnit5 module](../pact-jvm-provider-junit5). See that for more details. For writing Spring Pact verification tests with JUnit 5, there is an JUnit 5 Invocation Context Provider that you can use with the `@TestTemplate` annotation. This will generate a test for each interaction found for the pact files for the provider. To use it, add the `@Provider` and `@ExtendWith(SpringExtension.class)` and one of the pact source annotations to your test class (as per a JUnit 5 test), then add a method annotated with `@TestTemplate` and `@ExtendWith(PactVerificationSpringProvider.class)` that takes a `PactVerificationContext` parameter. You will need to call `verifyInteraction()` on the context parameter in your test template method. For example: ```java @ExtendWith(SpringExtension.class) @SpringBootTest(webEnvironment = SpringBootTest.WebEnvironment.DEFINED_PORT) @Provider("Animal Profile Service") @PactBroker public class ContractVerificationTest { @TestTemplate @ExtendWith(PactVerificationSpringProvider.class) void pactVerificationTestTemplate(PactVerificationContext context) { context.verifyInteraction(); } } ``` You will now be able to setup all the required properties using the Spring context, e.g. creating an application YAML file in the test resources: ```yaml pactbroker: host: your.broker.host auth: username: broker-user password: broker.password ``` You can also run pact tests against `MockMvc` without need to spin up the whole application context which takes time and often requires more additional setup (e.g. database). In order to run lightweight tests just use `@WebMvcTest` from Spring and `MockMvcTestTarget` as a test target before each test. For example: ```java @WebMvcTest @Provider("myAwesomeService") @PactBroker class ContractVerificationTest { @Autowired private MockMvc mockMvc; @TestTemplate @ExtendWith(PactVerificationInvocationContextProvider.class) void pactVerificationTestTemplate(PactVerificationContext context) { context.verifyInteraction(); } @BeforeEach void before(PactVerificationContext context) { context.setTarget(new MockMvcTestTarget(mockMvc)); } } ``` You can also use `MockMvcTestTarget` for tests without spring context by providing the controllers manually. For example: ```java @Provider("myAwesomeService") @PactFolder("pacts") class MockMvcTestTargetStandaloneMockMvcTestJava { @TestTemplate @ExtendWith(PactVerificationInvocationContextProvider.class) void pactVerificationTestTemplate(PactVerificationContext context) { context.verifyInteraction(); } @BeforeEach void before(PactVerificationContext context) { MockMvcTestTarget testTarget = new MockMvcTestTarget(); testTarget.setControllers(new DataResource()); context.setTarget(testTarget); } @RestController static class DataResource { @GetMapping("/data") @ResponseStatus(HttpStatus.NO_CONTENT) void getData(@RequestParam("ticketId") String ticketId) { } } } ``` **Important:** Since `@WebMvcTest` starts only Spring MVC components you can't use `PactVerificationSpringProvider` and need to fallback to `PactVerificationInvocationContextProvider`

The OODT grid services (product and profile services) use CORBA or RMI as their underlying network transport. However, limitations of CORBA and RMI make them inappropriate for large-scale deployments. For one, both are procedural mechanisms, providing a remote interface that resembles a method call. This makes streaming of data from a service impossible, because there are limitations to the sizes of data structures that can be passed over a remote method call. Instead, repeated calls must be made to retrieve each block of a product, making transfer speeds horribly slow compared to HTTP or FTP. (Block-based retrieval of profiles was never implemented, resulting in out of memory conditions for large profile results, which is another problem.) Second, both CORBA and RMI rely on a central name registry. The registry makes an object independent of its network location, enabling a client to call it by name (looking up its last known location in the registry). However, this requires that server objects be able to make outbound network calls to the registry (through any outbound firewall), and that the registry accept those registrations (through any inbound firewall). This required administrative action at institutions hosting server objects and at the institution hosting the registry. Often, these firewall exceptions would change without notice as system adminstrators changed at each location (apparently firewall exceptions are poorly documented everywhere). Further, in the two major deployments of OODT (PDS and EDRN), server objects have almost never moved, nullifying any benefit of the registry. This project, OODT Web Grid Services, avoids the prolems of CORBA and RMI by using HTTP as the transport mechanism for products and profiles. Further, it provides a password-protected mechanism to add new sets of product and profile query handlers, enabling seamless activation of additional capabilities.
