What is Agave?
Agave is an open source, science-as-a-service platform developed by the Texas Advanced Computing Center. It aims to facilitate computational research across a wide range of scientific disciplines including physics, biology, engineering, and more.
Some key capabilities and features of Agave include:
- Data management - Agave enables researchers to store, share, and manage large datasets across storage systems like Dropbox, Google Drive, Amazon S3, and HPC storage.
- Application deployment - Scientists can deploy and manage applications without needing to worry about the computational infrastructure.
- Access to HPC resources - Agave allows coupling of storage and computational infrastructure to high performance computing systems.
- Collaboration features - Teams of researchers can share data, workflows, and other resources to promote collaboration.
- RESTful API - Programmatic control of the platform is enabled via a comprehensive API.
- Access control and security - Fine-grained user and group permissions allow scientists to securely share resources with colleagues.
By providing an integrated platform for computational research, Agave aims to increase scientific productivity and accelerate the pace of discovery across many scientific fields.
