To assist the bioinformatic community in leveraging the national cyberinfrastructure, the National Center for Genomic Analysis Support (NCGAS) along with Indiana University's High Throughput Computing (HTC) group have engineered a method to use the Galaxy to submit BLAST jobs to the Open Science Grid (OSG). OSG is a collaboration of resource providers that utilize opportunistic cycles at more than 100 universities and research centers in the US. BLAST jobs make a significant portion of the research conducted on NCGAS resources, moving jobs that are conducive to an HTC environment to the national cyberinfrastructure would alleviate load on resources at NCGAS and provide a cost effective solution for getting more cycles to reduce the unmet needs of bioinformatic researchers. To this point researchers have tackled this issue by purchasing additional resources or enlisting collaborators doing the same type of research, while HTC experts have focused on expanding the number of resources available to historically HTC friendly science workflows. In this paper, we bring together expertise from both areas to address how a bioinformatics researcher using their normal interface, Galaxy, can seamlessly access the OSG which routinely supplies researchers with millions of compute hours daily. Efficient use of these results will supply additional compute time to researcher and help provide a yet unmet need for BLAST computing cycles.
IU Research Technologies and the Research Data Alliance
(Indiana University, 2015-12-08) Quick, Rob
The Research Data Alliance (RDA) builds the social and technical bridges that enable open sharing of data.â Now in its third year, the Research Data Alliance has grown to over 3000 members from more than 100 countries worldwide. The RDA envisions open sharing of data across borders, technologies, and disciplines. With IU officially joining as a member organization in July of 2015, it is a good time to review the activity from the RDA with the researchers and IT professionals at IU that might benefit from the results and outputs. The presentation discusses the RDA organization structure, IU' s role as a member organization, and the current activities and outputs from the RDA working groups. This allows the technical and professional staff at IU to offer feedback on what important Big Data issues they face and how these issues might lead to discussion and action within RDA.
