BIOHPC

BioHPC is designed to be operated by the users that are not experienced in HPC, web servers, clusters and such. It can be installed on a small scale cluster in a biological lab, and then provide easy access via web interface for lab members. It can be installed in a large infrastructure system (like in CBSU) and provide a portal for integrating many different, sometimes geographically distant, computational resources... At the Cornell University Computational Biology Service Unit we have developed a suit of computational biology applications for HPC (BioHPC) that allows researchers from biological laboratories to submit their jobs to a parallel cluster through an easy-to-use web interface, as well as manage their jobs and data. Users don't need to deal with parallel job submission, queues, clusters: knowing the application, parameters and input is all that is required.
