Dec 2020 - Jun 2021
Gateway-In-a-Box (GIB) is a reusable and a portable framework for building web portals that support computation and analyses on remote computing resources from the convenience of the web-browser. It is mainly written in Java/Java EE. It provides support for an interactive terminal emulator, batch job submission, file management, storage-quota management, message board, user account management, and also provides an admin console. GIB can be easily deployed on the resources in the cloud or on-premises. GIB is derived from the software funded by NSF awards # 1642396 (IPT web portal) and 2039142 (BOINC@TACC portal). Here is a video-demo of a raw (not secured with SSL certificates) instance of GIB that is fully-customizable: https://youtu.be/AImrskhIrVw

Mar 2020 - Jul 2021
ICAT can assist the users in modifying, compiling, and optimally running their applications on the latest HPC platforms that are equipped with the Intel Knights Landing (KNL) processors. ICAT detects a given application's characteristics such as memory usage pattern, type of memory allocation, and execution time. Depending upon the application's characteristics, it advises the user on optimal ways to take advantage of the KNL processor and its memory-hierarchy.
