Abstract:
The UltraScan software has been developed to assist biophysicists with
the analysis of analytical ultracentrifugation (AUC) experiments. It
includes a desktop component written in C++, a web-based laboratory
information management system with a MariaDB database backend written in
PHP, and a high-performance computing backend using MPI, implemented on
supercomputers around the world, and in particular on the US National
Science Foundation's XSEDE infrastructure. A 4th component is the
slurm-based Apache Airavata grid middleware that brokers analysis jobs to
a variety of supercomputers publically available to users of Ultrascan.
In this talk I will discuss several algorithms for AUC data fitting
used in UltraScan, and how they are parallelized on supercomputers,
and discuss the general architecture of UltraScan.
