Compute Web App – SoQut Imaging 2017 ex-software
Compute Web App (or CWA), SoQut Imaging 2017 ex-software, is a software designed for data-intensive distributed computing of scientific data controllable via a RESTful API. It has been originally developed for SoQut Imaging between 2017 and 2021. Ideally, each CWA instance can handle a part of input data and thus CWA will be able to efficiently handle data sizes up to petabytes, useful for quantitative MRI for instance.
Why SoQut Imaging? Read a bit of history…
At the moment, a CWA instance can manage data processes locally running in parallel. One CWA instance is available as a demonstration: demo.soqut-imaging.fr!
CWA has been developed exclusively during spare-time and will be continued as is. It is now open source, so feel free to visit and contribute to CWA project.
Main features
- Fast and easy to deploy,
- Secured process parameters, data and results transfer,
- Simple RESTful API designed to:
- upload data,
- control and monitor processes and
- retrieve results,
- Simple and efficient web interface provided,
- Designed to run processes in parallel,
- Adapted to Cloud computing and to dedicated servers.
Prepare processes by interfacing them with CWA, develop a simple HTTP client in the application for uploading data and retrieve results and that’s it!
Data and results required to be kept in door? Great, just run it on a local High Performance Computer (HPC) as an “on premise” solution.
