• provide access to SEDs at three levels:
– fast and easy• unexperienced user, no detailed knowledge about
the model-atmosphere code necessary
– individual• interested user, detailed analysis of special
objects
– experienced• define own model atoms, comparison of codes,
etc.

Way to Reality in the 21Way to Reality in the 21stst CenturyCentury
– use SED grids• ready to use, interpolation
– calculate individual model atmospheres • Teff, log g, mass fraction {Xi}, i (H, He, C, N,
O)– standard model atoms
– create own atomic-data files, i (H - Ni), and calculate model atmospheres and SEDs

Calculation of SEDs Calculation of SEDs
• cpu time increases with number of considered elements
– 1 H+He+C+N+O model ≈ 1 day on a fast PC
– IAAT cluster: 4 models parallel
• calculation of SED grids– compute resources of AstroGrid-D

Why use a Grid?Why use a Grid?
• scales according to demand– 1, 10, or 100 cores available at any time
• higher reliability• middleware offers additional options
– job monitoring, statistics, error handling
• TMAP is easy to compute – no interprocess-communication– no complex compilation, all libraries
present
