Description
CBRAIN is a web portal that provides seamless access to high-performance computing clusters, and is a component of the NeuroHub ecosystem of neuroinformatics tools. The tutorial will cover the main functionalities of CBRAIN for the processing and management of data, illustrate them on BigBrain data, and demonstrate their interaction. For more advanced users, an introduction will be provided about how to prepare their scientific application for integration in CBRAIN.
Expected learning outcomes:
In this tutorial, participants will learn to use the following infrastructure tools and services for analyzing data in HIBALL:
Part 1 (1h): CBRAIN to process BigBrain data on HPC clusters, such as that at JSC, through a web portal, including:
