XSEDE16

Science gateways, or Web portals, are an important mechanism for broadening and simplifying access to computational grids, clouds, and campus resources. Gateways provide science-specific user interfaces to end users who are unfamiliar with or need more capabilities than provided by command-line interfaces. In this tutorial, we present SciGaP, which includes participation from the CIPRES, UltraScan, Neuroscience, and SEAGrid Gateways combined with the Apache Airavata middleware for managing jobs and data. Our goal is to show participants how to build and run gateways using both software and collected experience from some of the most heavily used XSEDE science gateways. This tutorial will build on the well attended and well reviewed XSEDE14 and XSEDE15 tutorials. Extensive tutorial material is available from https://s.apache.org/scigap-xsede14 and https://s.apache.org/scigap-xsede15.
