Abstract

The CIPRES Science Gateway (CSG) provides researchers and educators with browser-based access to community codes for inference of phylogenetic relationships from DNA and protein sequence data. The CSG allows users to deploy jobs on the high-performance computers of the TeraGrid without requiring detailed knowledge of their complexities. Use of the CSG has grown rapidly; through March 2011 it had more than 2,200 users and enabled more than 180 peer-reviewed publications. The rapid growth in resource consumption was accommodated by deploying codes on Trestles, a new TeraGrid computer. Tools and policies were developed to insure efficient and effective resource use. This paper describes progress in managing the growth of this public cyberinfrastructure resource and reviews the domain science that it has enabled.
