UCSD RCD Community Meetings
Calendar and materials for the UCSD Research Computing & Data Community Meetings
Building & Using Science Gateways
October 11, 2022, 2:00 p.m. PDT
Description
Science gateways are web platforms that simplify the participation in science by easing the connection to otherwise difficult to use resources (like HPC or instruments), sharing data and computational codes, collaborating, and generating large international audiences for broader impact. UCSD has been a leader in promoting the use and creation of science gateways to make resesearch capabilities available outside of individual labs or campuses.
This meeting will provide a background on science gateways, including how to find existing gateways and what tools and platforms are out there if you want to host a gateway. Contributors to two successful UCSD science gateways, the CIPRES (phylogenetics) and the Qiita (‘omics), will describe their portals and can answer questions about the realities of developing and operating a gateway.
