Abstract

UltraScan Solution Modeler (US-SOMO) computes hydiodynamie parameters and small-angle scattering data from biological macromolecular structural representations and compares them with experimental data for structural determination and validation. At XSEDE 12, a GUI integrated gateway was introduced to offload large computations to various HPC resources. The gateway was directly integrated into the Qt/GUI based software to allow the users a seamless experience. The software is available as source code or precompiled for Apple Mac OSX, MS-Windows and Linux. Current cluster resources include TACC Lonestar and Stampede, SDSC Trestles and a 256 CPU cluster local to the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. The simplicity of design allowed the implementation of a new method of modeling small angle scattering data that provided new scientific insights and was presented at the 2012 international small-angle scattering conference. Since introduction, multiple workshops have been taught and users are beginning to utilize the gateway in their biological research.
