Final report on deployment of consolidated platform and the overall architecture

This document is the final report about the activities of the Work Package 4 (WP4), aiming at provisioning a consistent e-infrastructure gradually integrating the existing isolated software solutions in the structural biology field into a single computing and data processing environment, based on the state of the art grid and cloud open source software tools and frameworks.

This report follows the documents D4.3, MS14, D4.5 and MS15, respectively delivered at project month 15, 24, 26, 34, so that mostly the progress achieved until project month 36 not already described in the previous D4.5 ten months ago will be reported here, with references to MS15 when possible.

The document starts with an updated description of the resources potentially available for the project from the EGI e-infrastructure, on top of which we built the consolidated West-Life platform. It then presents a detailed view of resource usage and their geographical distribution in the third and last year of the project, as obtained from the EGI Accounting Portal. The remaining of the document reports in details the final achievements about the three main aspects of the platform: the consolidated job management mechanism, the programmatic access to datasets and the unified security and accounting model.
