Obelisk : Summoning Minions on a HPC Cluster

Abstract

In scientific research, having the ability to perform rigorous calculations in a bearable amount of time is an invaluable asset. Fortunately, the growing popularity of distributed systems at universities makes this a widely accessible resource. The purpose of Obelisk is to connect users and HPC systems through an intuitive web interface that automates the creation, submission, and retrieval of scientific computing tasks.
