Short Description
Chipster is a user-friendly analysis software for high-throughput data. It contains over 300 analysis tools for next generation sequencing (NGS), microarray, proteomics and sequence data. Chipster's client software uses Java Web Start to install itself automatically, and it connects to computing servers for the actual analysis. Chipster is open source and the server environment is available as a virtual machine image.
Use Case
Deploy Chipster on the EGI Federated Cloud.
Requirements:
- 2 VMs with 4/8 GB of RAM and 2 Cores
- Enough storage space to host the VM image (currently it's about 200 GB)
- Interested in scalability mechanism.
The Chipster VM will be modified to support contextualisation through cloud-init. During the contextualisation phase, the 2 block storages neeed (1 for tool and the other for data) will be attached to the VM. The block storage containing tools will be exported as NFS to be shared by different VM instances.
