Abstract

This paper presents a novel cyberinfrastructure designed to facilitate advanced plasma and space weather simulations across various high performance computing platforms through a user friendly web-based interface. The interface offers a comprehensive, open source solution with workflow control that enables the modeling of plasma systems from terrestrial magnetospheres to laboratory experiments in weakly collisional or collisionless plasma regimes. The discussion covers the supported use cases that cater to a diverse user community, an overview of the cyberinfrastructure software components, and community building efforts.
