The BioData.pt Compute Platform

The BioData.pt Compute Platform provides a full stack of computational resources to the Portuguese life science research community, including a dedicated user support. The BioData.pt computational infrastructure, implemented over a hybrid cloud and high performance computing resources, supports access, usage and storage of digital objects and is coordinated by INESC-ID. This infrastructure was maintained and expanded in 2021 and includes CCMAR, IGC and Técnico ULisboa as cloud service providers, and constitutes the backbone of most of BioData.pt’s activities. Additionally, as a member of the Galaxy Pulsar Network, the BioData.pt continues to contribute with computing capacity to Galaxy Europe, enabling researchers to use the Pulsar Network resources.
