D3.1 Operations documentation on the Open Infrastructure deployment

Abstract (Expand)

Development of the Open Infrastructure and Pulsar Network to support distributed job execution and scalable Galaxy deployments across Europe. Project: EuroScienceGateway was funded by the European Union …Union programme Horizon Europe (HORIZON-INFRA-2021-EOSC-01-04) under grant agreement number 101057388 and by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) under the UK government’s Horizon Europe funding guarantee grant number 10038963. Document: D3.1 Operations documentation on the Open Infrastructure deployment Work Package: Work Package 3. Pulsar Network: Distributed heterogeneous compute. Tasks: - Task 3.1 Develop and maintain an Open Infrastructure based deployment model for Pulsar endpoints. - Task 3.3 Build a European-wide network of Pulsar sites. - Task 3.5 Developing and maintaining national or domain-driven Galaxy servers. Lead Beneficiary: INFN Contributing Beneficiary: INFN, ALU-FR, CNRS, CESNET, UiB, BSC, VIB, IISAS, TUBITAK and CNR Executive Summary Work Package 3 of the EuroScienceGateway project is divided into 5 tasks, aimed at bringing into production (TRL9) the Pulsar Network , a distributed computing network that allows public Galaxy servers to offload jobs to remote computing clusters provided by project partners. Specifically, this deliverable describes the work done in tasks 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and 3.5. The main objectives of WP3 are: 1) to simplify the deployment and management of new Pulsar and Galaxy endpoints (T3.1 and T3.5), to make Pulsar compatible with the GA4GH TES specifications (T3.2), and to deploy new Pulsar endpoints (T3.3)

Publication of the usage of EuroScienceGateway by multiple communities

Abstract (Expand)

Description Documentation of the cross-domain adoption of the EuroScienceGateway (ESG) project, showcasing how Galaxy was used and extended to meet the data analysis needs of researchers across …ers across biodiversity, climate science, astrophysics, materials science, and biomedical domains. This record outlines ESG’s impact on the onboarding of diverse scientific communities, enabling scalable, reproducible, and FAIR-compliant workflows. Through targeted outreach, infrastructure integration, and community-driven tool development, the project successfully onboarded new user groups and demonstrated Galaxy’s adaptability across multiple scientific verticals. Over 800 tools were integrated into Galaxy during the past 3 years, and dozens of reusable workflows were published to support sensitive data handling, high-throughput image analysis, simulation environments, and federated compute. The deliverable documents use cases, domain-specific onboarding models, training efforts, and collaborative success stories, including the development of the Galaxy Codex and strategic alignment with EOSC, ELIXIR, and NFDI initiatives. Project: EuroScienceGateway was funded by the European Union’s Horizon Europe programme (HORIZON-INFRA-2021-EOSC-01) under grant agreement number 101057388. Document: D5.2 Publication of the usage of EuroScienceGateway by multiple communities Work Package: Work Package 5. Community engagement, adoption and onboarding Tasks: Task 5.1 Biodiversity and Climate Science Task 5.2 Materials Science Task 5.3 Astrophysics Task 5.4 Mentoring and onboarding new communities Lead Beneficiary: University of Oslo (UiO) Contributing Beneficiaries: UiO, ALU-FR, CNRS, UNIFI, UKRI, EPFL, UP, BSC

Scaling Scientific Workflows in Europe: Architecture and Deployment of the Galaxy-Pulsar Computational Network

Abstract (Expand)

Description This preprint outlines the development and deployment of the European Pulsar Network (EPN)—a federated, scalable architecture enabling distributed job execution across national and European …opean Galaxy instances. Built within the Horizon Europe EuroScienceGateway project, the EPN leverages the Galaxy workflow system and the Pulsar job execution service to offload computational workloads to remote endpoints seamlessly and securely. The work introduces an Open Infrastructure (OI) framework that automates provisioning, deployment, and monitoring using Terraform, Ansible, and Jenkins. The pre-print highlights deployments across thirteen Pulsar nodes and six national Galaxy portals, illustrating how the EPN supports reproducible, FAIR-aligned data analysis while abstracting infrastructure complexity for researchers.
