About the CCL
We design
software that enables our
collaborators to easily harness
large scale distributed systems such as clusters, clouds, and grids. We perform fundamental
computer science research that enables new discoveries through computing in fields such as physics, chemistry, bioinformatics, biometrics, and data mining.

The CoGe Comparative Genomics Portal
provides on-the-fly genomic analysis and comparative tools for nearly
20,000 genomes from 15,000 organisms and has become more and more
popular as genome sequence has become less expensive. The portal runs
about 10,000 workflows a month and needed a robust solution for
distributed computing of various workflows that range from simple to
complex. Using Makeflow,
the CoGe team is modularizing the workflows being run through CoGe, has
early wins in delivering value to the system by easily
monitoring/restarting workflows, and is now starting to work on
distributing computation across multiple types of compute resources.
