چکیده
Summary: using High Performance Computing (HPC) resources in a workflow management systems (WMS) is a powerful way to address eScience challenges such as big data management. We present here WMS4HPC, a WMS connecting bridge with 4 degrees of freedom, for the integration and application of HPC cyberinfrastructure and local resources. The BioExtract Server, a Web-based WMS, has been enhanced to enable researchers to easily add their own analytic tools to the system through the iPlant collaborative infrastructure (IPC) allowing these tools to be executed on a HPC platform or a local system, shared with collaborators, and included in analytic workflows. Availability and implementation: WMS4HPC was implemented in Java using RESTful API to connect Bioextract Server and iPlant cyberinfrastructure. BioExtract Server at bioextract.org is a free and open WMS with no login requirement. This implementation has been used for several peer review published workflow designs. Workflows such as RNA_Seq data analysis are available online on Bioextract.org workflow tab.
