PHASE Field Methods Workshop, January 2015
- Develop benchmarks
- Develop a repository of benchmark results
- Deploy Website / App that
- automates collection of benchmark results
- provides meaningful comparisons
- is low maintenance
- is a long term data archive of benchmark results
Goals
Benchmark Specifications
Benchmark Results
- Using Plotly's Javascript library
- Easily generates interactive plots
- clickable, zoomable, adjustable
- How to identify optimal results?

DESign Changes
Current stack:
- HTML, CSS and JavaScript files (CMS-free)
- NIST pages static HTTP server
- Supplemented with external APIs where necessary
New stack:
- Notebooks for everything (all Python no JS)
- GitHub for everything (wiki, automations, files)
- Upload results via template fork + issue comment
Summary
- Template for small scientific communities
- Low maintenance
- No security issues
- Long term reliability
- Easy to deploy
- Improved phase field codes via quality assurance
- Ongoing work:
- Migrate away from JS stack to Jupyter / Python
- Git LFS
- GitHub Actions
- Fork for upload (use standards such as metacode.json)
