science gateway

Poster presented at the NSF CSSI / CyberTraining / SCIPE Principal Investigator Meeting, Denver, July 28–29, 2025. 

Describes the Quakeworx science gateway, a production OneSciencePlace deployment for the earthquake-science research community. The Quakeworx gateway unifies simulation apps, curated input and output datasets, interactive and batch workflows, and FAIR publishing into a single browser-based interface, with integration into ACCESS HPC resources including SDSC Expanse, TACC Stampede3, and NCSA Delta.

Included here as a sample publication to demonstrate that the OSP Publications surface supports externally-minted DOIs (this one minted by figshare) alongside internally-minted ones, and to show how a conference poster appears as a cited, indexed artifact on an OSP deployment.
 

This paper describes the seven pilot applications deployed on the OneSciencePlace (OSP) pilot platform to demonstrate the platform's support for the four primary research-computing interaction modes: interactive notebooks, batch submission, terminal access, and graphical desktop applications. For each app we describe its purpose, the audience it targets, the OSP capabilities it demonstrates, and the prospective-user scenarios it is designed to support during evaluation.

The pilot app set is deliberately curated rather than exhaustive: it covers Jupyter notebooks across four analytical domains, RStudio tutorials for applied statistics, a form-driven Monte Carlo batch app, two browser-based terminal variants, and two graphical scientific tools (ParaView and QGIS). Each app runs on modest CPU-only resources and completes its representative workflow in under a minute, enabling reliable live-demo scenarios.

This guide is intended as accompanying material for OSP pilot evaluations — prospective users, their institutional sponsors, and reviewers can use it to understand what each pilot app demonstrates and how it maps to their own computational needs.
