A Web-based graphical interface for microscopy image analysis on a GPU cluster

We present a Web portal that is capable of performing large scale, batch processing of microscopy images on a GPU cluster. This portal provides users with user-friendly Web pages to convert between image formats and submit deconvolution jobs. Currently the deconvolution is performed with the microvolution package[1] in the Wiener cluster [2], but the portal can be easily extended to use other tools and run on other clusters. In conjunction with MeDiCI (Metropolitan Data Caching Infrastructure) [3], we aim to provide a seamless solution that could automatically transfer the images from the acquisition machines to high-performance computing clusters for analysis and archive the results for visualisation or further processing.

The portal is currently available to UQ users at: https://imbmicroscopy.rcc.uq.edu.au.
