ABSTRACT

This chapter provides an overview of the LEXIS platform which aims to overcome the shortcomings of complicated access to a high-performance computing (HPC) system and management of terabyte-scale datasets by providing a clean and concise interface which will abstract both HPC and cloud resources using workflow and data management orchestration. Modular architecture of the platform is presented along with the orchestration and data management APIs. Security and identity management along with the market positioning aspects are discussed as well.
