Imagine you have a massive puzzle but not enough table space to put it together. This project builds a digital bridge that lets researchers use giant supercomputers across Europe without needing to be a computer expert. It's like a universal remote that connects your data to the best available processing power automatically.
Researchers and data scientists often lack the technical skills to manage complex HPC or Cloud platforms. This creates a bottleneck where valuable data cannot be processed efficiently due to the steep learning curve of infrastructure management.
A workflow-based gateway integrating Galaxy and Pulsar. It includes extensions to automate the integration of user-provided computing and storage resources.
If you are a biotech company dealing with massive genomic datasets — this project developed a workflow-based gateway that allows you to process life-sciences data across distributed compute resources. This removes the need for in-house supercomputing expertise to run complex analysis pipelines.
If you are a climate modeling firm dealing with planetary-scale biodiversity data — this project developed a system to automate the integration of storage and compute resources. This ensures your climate research is reproducible and follows FAIR data standards.
If you are a materials manufacturer dealing with complex molecular simulations — this project developed a distributed computing network across 13 countries. This allows you to scale your materials-science simulations using the most efficient available infrastructure.
Based on available project data, no specific pricing or commercial cost model is mentioned; it is described as an open infrastructure for European scientists.
Yes, the project aims for a robust, scalable infrastructure and targets a TRL-9 service level for its components.
The project is based on the open Galaxy platform and focuses on open collaborative digital spaces, suggesting open-source alignment, though specific licenses are not listed.
The project implements 'Bring Your Own Compute' and 'Bring Your Own Storage' to allow users to integrate their own resources into the gateway.
The project period runs from 2022-09-01 to 2025-08-31.
The consortium is heavily academic, consisting of 18 partners from 13 countries, with 9 universities and 8 research organizations. There is a total absence of industry partners (0%), indicating the technology is currently driven by public research needs rather than commercial market pull.
