Use Cases

Mass Spectrometer Simulation

We were contacted by a scientist interested in running a mass spectrometer simulation. Traditionally this several thousand compute hour job took several weeks on an internal Condor pool, but now it needed to be done in time to submit for a conference. Running the same workflow on CycleCloud took the run-time from several weeks to less than a day.

BLAST as a Service

A pharmaceutical company came to Cycle about running BLAST and other applications n the cloud. Processing BLAST databases and query jobs is time consuming on their internal grid. After they approved our security model, we built a processing pipeline for BLAST that provides 7000+ public databases from NCBI, Ensembl, & ISI that are updated weekly.

Our CycleCloud BLAST service is now publicly available to all users.

CycleCloud: Clusters as a Service on the Cloud

Cycle Computing is the first to provide secure, on-demand grids via its CycleCloud service. Built upon Amazon Web Services, we simplify and lower the cost of creating a supported Compute Cluster without new hardware. To read more, look at some of our case studies:

Varian HPC on Cloud  Schrodinger HPC on Cloud

Using CycleCloud, users can:

  • Create a Condor/SGE clusters without having to worry about setup or configuration
  • Securely upload files to the pool's filesystem
  • Manage and execute jobs through our CycleServer HPC Management Tools
  • Shut down the pool when calculations are complete

CycleCloud takes the delays, configuration, administration, and sunken hardware costs out of High Throughput and High Performance Compute Clusters, allowing you to focus on running your calculations quickly and easily.
