This page provides information about the 'EGI platform for the Long-tail of science'. The long-tail of science refers to the individual researchers and small laboratories who - opposed to large, expensive collaborations - do not have access to computational resources and online services to manage and analyse large amount of data. This EGI platform allows individual researchers and small research teams to perform compute and data-intensive simulations on large, distributed networks of computers in a user friendly way.
What can you access in the platform?
The platform is accessible through this portal and offers grid, cloud and application services from across the EGI community for individual researchers and small research teams. The platform offers the following type of resources:
- High-throughput computing sites for running compute/data-intensive jobs
- Cloud sites suited for both compute/data intensive jobs and hosting of scientific services
- Storage resources for storing job input and output data, and for setting up data catalogues
- Science gateways that provide graphical web environments for building and executing applications in the platform.
- Applications that are made available ‘as services’ through the science gateways.
Current available resources in the platform:
| Type | Name | Description |
| Cloud and storage |

| Science gateway |
Catania Science Gateway | The Catania Science Gateway is a new generation of Science Gateway based on standard that changes the way e-Infrastructures are used. The gateway incorporates several scientific applications and offers these ‘as services’ for the user. |
| WS-PGRADE | The WS-PGRADE Portal (Web Services Parallel Grid Runtime and Developer Environment Portal) is the Liferay-based web portal (WS-PGRADE web application) of gUSE, wich also includes a graphical portal service. WS-PGRADE is a Web portal hosted in a standard portal framework, using the client APIs of gUSE services to turn user requests into sequences of gUSE specific Web service calls. | |
| Application |
Hello World | Hello World is a simple grid-based application that demonstrates the use of remote resources by printing the hostname where the job is executed. It is accessible through the Catania Science Gateway. |
| The Statistical R | The Statistical R is a language and environment for statistical computing and graphics. It is accessible through the Catania Science Gateway. | |
| Chipster | Chispter is a user-friendly analysis software fro high-throughput data. It contains over 300 analysis tools for next generation sequencing (NGS), microarray, proteomics and sequence data. Users can save and share automatic analysis workflows, and visualize data interactively using a built-in genome browser and many other visualizations. | |
| ClustalW2 | ClustalW2 is a multiple sequence alignment tool for the alignment of DNA or protein sequences. | |
| The Semantic Search Engine (SSE) | SSE is a framework conceived to demonstrate the potential of information coupled with semantic web technologies to address the issues of data discovery and correlation. It is accessible through the Catania Science Gateway. |

Who can access the platform?
The platform is open for any researcher who needs a simple and user-friendly access to compute, storage and applications services in order to carry out data/compute intensive science and innovation. You need to be affiliated with, or at least have a partner (for example a referee), at a European research institution to qualify for access. The platform is designed to meet the needs of individual researchers and small research groups who have limited or no experience with distributed and cloud computing.
Access require acceptance of Acceptable Use Policy and Conditions of Use of the EGI Platform for the Long-tail of Science
How can you access the platform?
- Login to the entry portal with an EGI SSO, Google or Facebook account.
- Provide information on your profile page about your affiliation to a research institute or team.
- Request resources from the platform: Indicate what you would like to achieve with the resources so we can help you find the most suitable ones.
- After your request is approved, login to any of the science gateways and build or execute compute/data intensive applications.
