SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill allows users to execute computationally intensive or long-running scripts on dedicated remote KBase compute nodes, freeing up their local machine or notebook resources.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Remote Script Execution: Run arbitrary bash scripts in a containerized Ubuntu environment on KBase infrastructure.
  • Resource Intensive Tasks: Ideal for bioinformatics tools, large-scale data processing, and jobs requiring significant CPU or memory.
  • Use Case: You have a complex genomic analysis script that takes several hours to run. Submit it using the remote-compute skill to execute on a powerful KBase node without interrupting your interactive analysis.

Quick Start

Use the remote-compute skill to run your analysis script 'my-analysis.sh' with input files 'genome1.fna.gz' and 'genome2.fna.gz'.

Frequently Asked Questions about remote-compute

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run bash scripts on remote compute nodes for large data processing?▼

The CDM Task Service executes arbitrary bash scripts in a containerized Ubuntu environment on dedicated remote compute nodes, freeing up your local machine while handling data staging with MinIO and CRC64NVME checksums.

What is remote execution used for in bioinformatics workflows?▼

Remote execution is used for batch processing and CPU or memory-intensive bioinformatics tasks, allowing long-running genomic analysis scripts to run on powerful compute infrastructure without interrupting your interactive analysis.

Do I need a KBase auth token to submit batch processing jobs to the compute cluster?▼

Yes, you need a KBase auth token to submit jobs to the CDM Task Service, along with MinIO client access and CTS access for job submission and data staging.

Can I run long-running genomic analysis scripts without blocking my local notebook?▼

Yes, you can submit long-running genomic analysis scripts to remote KBase compute nodes, which execute the jobs in containerized environments while freeing up your local machine or notebook resources.

What are the limitations of running data processing jobs via the CDM Task Service?▼

Jobs require a KBase auth token, MinIO client, and CTS access for data staging, and must be executable within a containerized Ubuntu environment on the remote compute infrastructure.
