context_page_description: The OnlineHPC was a free public web service that supplied tools to deal with high performance computers and online workflow editor. OnlineHPC allowed users to design and execute workflows using the online workflow designer and to work with high performance computers – clusters and clouds. Access to high performance resources was available as directly from the service user interface, as from workflow components.
  The workflow engine of the OnlineHPC service was Taverna as traditionally used for scientific workflow execution in such domains, as bioinformatics, cheminformatics, medicine, astronomy, social science, music, and digital preservation.

  Workflows in OnlineHPC included components for:
  Running massive computations on computer clusters
  SOAP/WSDL and REST Web services, special component for the BioMart web service.
  R statistical service
  Beanshell script (Java-like script language)
  External tools on remote machines (via ssh)
  XPath xml data extraction
  Importing data from Microsoft Excel spreadsheets
  The service also had basic tools to prepare and run massive computational tasks on clusters - in-browser terminal emulator, file system browser and cluster status viewer. 
  Users could choose to operate existing hardware cluster or to start a configure a new cluster instance in the cloud.
