With the recent advent of microprocessors and networks, supercomputing system has been increasingly adopted as a general-purpose simulation environment for a broad spectrum of applications. In particular, the simulation environment has allowed theoretical and/or experimental research in various fields of computational science and to be free of time and spatial limits, and maximized the use of cyber-infrastructure for next generation problem solving. However, traditional supercomputing services have only been handled through a simple form of command-line based console, which leads to the critical decrement of accessibility and usability of heterogeneous computing assets. To address this problem, this paper describes the design and implementation of heterogeneous computing resources/jobs management framework, named IceBreaker, to enable any web-based supercomputing services. The proposed framework has essential functions including user authentication, data management, physical/virtual computing resource management, job management, etc. to provide efficient supercomputing service environments. The framework follows highly extensible modula design principle to manage different kinds of simulations efficiently and allow heterogeneous computing resources, for example, computing clusters, clouds, grids, to be easily integrated with our framework. We also present the detailed specification of standard web-based RESTful endpoints for 3rd-party developers to configure and build a variety of supercomputing service gateways. We hope the attempt presented in this paper will encourage more researchers to join us in designing highly efficient and cost-effective supercomputing service platform.
