The SUNRISE Framework

The SUNRISE framework (Scalable Unified RESTful Infrastructure for System Evaluation) defines a uniform approach to access simulation technologies and boost efficiency of system evaluation by leveraging decentralized compute resources for deployment of execution workloads. The solution is based on a strong modularization and connection of the components via APIs.

For formal information see About.

Getting Started

A demonstrator to experience the basic functionality of the SUNRISE framework is available here.
