Thank you. I have two follow up questions.

1.) Is there a documentation on writing a deployer, so we can extend Galxy to deploy to a different system, say Amazon EC2 or Azure? 2.) Is it possible to show information about these destinations in the front end UI of Galaxy?

Thank you, Saliya

Hi,

I see in documentation that Galaxy tools may be configured to run on a cluster (http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Admin/Config/Performance/Cluster

).

to specify which cluster the particular tool should run on ahead of time.

This is definitely possible, see "Mapping tools to destinations" on this page: http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Admin/Config/Jobs

Thank you for the info. In fact I was trying to convey that we as users don't know which cluster to use ahead of time. On Jul 12, 2013 5:17 PM, "Adam Brenner" aebrenne@uci.edu wrote:

Incorrect (at least to my knowledge). Using the new way jobs are handled within Galaxy via the XML[1] files you can send specific jobs to specific destinations which could be different "clusters."

For our cluster, we handle the file uploading "tool" to a different job runner then the cluster (SGE). This was accomplished by

<tools>
    <tool id="upload1" destination="local"/>
</tools>

where id is the galaxy tool id and destination is where the tool should be ran, cluster, local, etc.

Therefore, is it possible to specify the cluster to run when the tool is actually being used when composing the workflow from Galaxy?

Thank you, Saliya
