Abstract

Electron tomography is a powerful technique for deriving 3D structural information from biological specimens. As advanced instrumentation, networking, and grid computing are applied to electron tomography and biological sciences in general, much work is needed to integrate and coordinate these advanced technologies in a transparent way to deliver them to the end user. The Telescience Portal (http://gridport.npaci.edu/Telescience) is a web-based solution for end-to-end electron tomography that centralizes applications and seamlessly interfaces with the grid to accelerate the throughput of data results. In this paper we will describe the architecture and design of the Telescience Portal in the context of our experiences leading up to and including the iGrid2002 workshop. We will examine the lessons learned in developing the production Telescience environment, leveraging a successful international collaboration with groups in Japan and Taiwan, building end-to-end native IPv6 networks across continents, and examining IPv6 enabled mechanisms for transferring large data from two unique, remotely accessible high performance scientific instruments. Traditional computer science communities develop next generation technologies. Applications like Telescience drive these next generation technologies into production quality applications for everyday research needs.
