Speaker
Description
In this talk I'll provide some stories from leading the ChRIS computing
effort (https://chrisproject.org) over several years as it grew from
simple scripts that ran neuro-MRI analysis programs in a small lab to a
distributed container based platform that is both cloud and HPC ready
and currently actively supported by Red Hat, Inc, and their OpenShift
platform for cloud computing.
While providing conceptual overviews of the system architecture, I will
focus specifically on how choices in programming language, frameworks,
architecture, documentation, github and more all played out -- the
good, the bad, and the ugly.
I'll touch on how these choices impact portability across computing
architectures -- including PowerPC and of course upcoming ARM
architectures in Apple consumer products.
Finally, I'll talk about the complexity in fostering community about
growing open source scientific projects with some insights into some of
the pitfalls and highlights.
