SCAIGATE is an ambitious project to design the first AI-centric science gateway based on field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). The goal is to democratize access to FPGAs and AI in scientific computing and related applications. When completed, the project will enable the large-scale deployment and use of machine learning models on AI-centric FPGA platforms, allowing increased performance-efficiency, reduced development effort, and customization at unprecedented scale, all while simplifying ease-of-use in science domains which were previously AI-lagging.

SCAIGATE: Science Gateway for Scientific Computing with Artificial Intelligence and Reconfigurable Architectures
SCAIGATE is an ambitious project to design the first AI-centric science gateway based on field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs).

SCAIGATE was an incubation project at the Science Gateway Community Institute (SGCI) bootcamp held in Austin, Texas in 2018.

SLATE (Services Layer at the Edge) is a new project that, when complete, will implement “cyberinfrastructure as code” by augmenting the canonical Science DMZ pattern with a generic, programmable, secure and trusted underlayment platform. This platform will host advanced container-centric services needed for higher-level capabilities such as data transfer nodes, software and data caches, workflow services and science gateway components. SLATE will use best-of-breed data center virtualization components, and where available, software defined networking, to enable distributed automation of deployment and service lifecycle management tasks by domain experts. As such it will simplify creation of scalable platforms that connect research teams, institutions and resources to accelerate science while reducing operational costs and development cycle times. Since SLATE will be designed to require only commodity components for its functional layers, its potential for building distributed systems should extend across all data center types and scales, thus enabling creation of ubiquitous, science-driven cyberinfrastructure. By providing automation and programmatic interfaces to distributed HPC backends and other cyberinfrastructure resources, SLATE will amplify the reach of science gateways and therefore the domain communities they support.more » « less

In collaboration with the Center for Microbiome Analysis through Island Knowledge and Investigations (C-MĀIKI), the Hawaii EPSCoR Ike Wai project and the Hawaii Data Science Institute, a new science gateway, the C-MĀIKI gateway, was developed to support modern, interoperable and scalable microbiome data analysis. This gateway provides a web-based interface for accessing high-performance computing resources and storage to enable and support reproducible microbiome data analysis. The C-MĀIKI gateway is accelerating the analysis of microbiome data for Hawaii through ease of use and centralized infrastructure.more » « less

A scalable storage system is an integral requirement for supporting large-scale cloud computing jobs. The raw space on storage systems is made usable with the help of a software layer which is typically called a filesystem (e.g., Google's Cloud Filestore). In this paper, we present the design and implementation of an open-source and free cloud-based filesystem named as "Greyfish" that can be installed on the Virtual Machines (VMs) hosted on different cloud computing systems, such as Jetstream and Chameleon. Greyfish helps in: (1) storing files and directories for different user-accounts in a shared space on the cloud, (2) managing file-access permissions, and (3) purging files when needed. It is currently being used in the implementation of the Gateway-In-A-Box (GIB) project. A simplified version of Greyfish, known as Reef, is already in production in the BOINC@TACC project. Science gateway developers will find Greyfish useful for creating local filesystems that can be mounted in containers. By doing so, they can independently do quick installations of self-contained software solutions in development and test environments while mounting the filesystems on large-scale storage platforms in the production environments only.more » « less

The Change Hawaii (Change(HI)) project is fundamentally addressing the existential threat of climate change in Hawaii by integrating data and climate science to foster statewide resilience, enhance decision science, and support workforce development in critical fields. A cornerstone of this initiative is the \textbf{Hawaii Climate Data Portal (HCDP)}, which operates as a vital science gateway and data hub \cite. The HCDP's primary objective is to build capacity through advanced data science and artificial intelligence (AI), serving as a robust resource for monitoring, visualizing, and communicating environmental change \cite{longman_hawaii_2024}. Its critical role is highlighted by its extensive provision of climate data and its Application Programming Interface (API), which is instrumental in the development and functionality of diverse decision support tools tailored for various stakeholders across the state. This paper details the HCDP's integration with the Tapis API platform, and its successful application in developing actionable climate science outcomes for Hawaii.more » « less
