Hello, We are working on a project in providing a Cloud based research platform for Health Informatics and Bioinformatics. Long story short, one of the components to be provided by the project is a Galaxy Server for our genomics researchers; and on the other hand, GWU also has a HPC system for high performance and high throughput computing. Our Galaxy Server for this project is hosing in the Cloud (Azure) and the HPC cluster is onsite at GW. To allow a galaxy server to utilize external compute power of a HPC, galaxy has provided job runner plugins of DRMAA for job schedulers as well as Pulsar. For our situation, the HPC is a remote system w.r.t. the Galaxy server in the cloud and thus there isn't a shared file system between them. It seems to me that Pulsar would be the appropriate solution for us. Am I on the right track? Any suggestions are much appreciated! Best, Adam --- Adam K. L. Wong, PhD.
