HADOOP on HPC

You can now run HADOOP jobs on the High Performance Computing system. This means that HADOOP tasks written in JAVA can be submitted to our MOAB scheduler, just as you would submit any other job.

HADOOP is an increasingly popular framework for large-scale processing of data-sets using the map/reduce algorithm. HADOOP is particularly suited for "embarrassingly parallel" shared-nothing processing of unstructured data.

We encourage anyone interested in experimenting with HADOOP or using it for research applications to try out our implementation.

Testing Galaxy Server

The RCC is currently working to deploy a Galaxy server for general use and are soliciting groups to help us test it.

Galaxy is a Web-based platform that makes computational biology accessible to research scientists who do not have computer programming experience. It is also used as a general bioinformatics workflow management system.
