Research @ WashU with Randall Martin
Background: Characterizing air quality from global to local scales by gathering satellite remote sensing or other observational data and applying the GEOS-Chem model to simulate the atmosphere, interpret those observations, and understand processes that enable prediction. Relevance: Driven strongly by the effects of air quality on human health. Objective: To understand the traditional sources and processes that […]
Nextflow, your key to seamless and scalable computing workflows
Introducing Nextflow, widely used for its flexibility, scalability, and ease of use in managing and running complex analyses involving large datasets supporting Docker containers. RIS now supports it and makes it available for use on compute1-client nodes. Use the Nextflow documentation to learn how to run on the cluster. Nextflow provides a scripting language that allows […]
Unlocking insights, comprehensive analysis of SCOPE survey results
The survey results reflect the current and future state of the Scientific Compute Platform and the resources utilized by RIS users and non-users and will assist in the execution of RFPs and POCs. Why it matters: The Scientific Compute Operational Platform Expansion (SCOPE) will upgrade, update, and expand the high-performance compute platform maintained by RIS, including part or […]
Where minds merge and ideas converge
Protocols.io, a secure platform for researchers to collaboratively create step-by-step, interactive, and dynamic protocols that can run on mobile or the web, is here at WashU. Researchers can share protocols with colleagues, collaborators, and the scientific community or make them public with ease and efficiency. Protocols.io is also now integrated with LabArchives.
Keeping tFinity at its prime, always ready for your data
The Spectra Logic tFinity tape library infrastructure recently underwent its annual preventive maintenance, keeping tFinity at its prime and always ready for your data. Why it matters: The tape library is a high-capacity storage system used for storing, retrieving, reading from, and writing to tape cartridges. The tape library provides backups of the storage1 Active tier […]
