Discover how CIQ is making it dramatically easier for researchers to run complex Nextflow pipelines on modern HPC and hybrid cloud infrastructure. In this SC25 session, Wolfgang Resch walks through how Fuzzball, our HPC native container orchestration platform, integrates seamlessly with Nextflow to support bioinformatics workflows at scale.
What you’ll learn:
-How Fuzzball lowers the barrier to containerized HPC by combining an orchestrator with an HPC native container engine
-How Fuzzball Orchestrate provisions compute, manages secrets, handles storage, tracks workflow state, and exposes a complete API
-How Fuzzball Substrate executes jobs with HPC specific capabilities such as MPI support and native GPU access
-How workflow definitions in YAML or JSON allow complex, containerized multi job pipelines with services, dependencies, and data staging
-How the Fuzzball UI gives users insight into logs, containers, results, and interactive applications
-How Nextflow pipelines can run on Fuzzball using a dedicated executor that submits Nextflow tasks as Fuzzball workflows
