When

11 a.m. to noon, Nov. 3, 2018

Where

How can you process 100GB of data using a computational notebook like Jupyter or Zeppelin, and the R Shiny app or visualize a point cloud with a billion points in your browser? How do you securely share these apps, data, and analyses with your collaborators and community?

To effectively use these amazing tools with real-world data requires computational resources (CPU, RAM, storage) beyond what is available on laptops/desktops or through hosted platforms like shinyapps.io and mybinder. Additionally, installation for these tools is often challenging and requires fairly specific versions of software libraries.

With this webinar, CyVerse introduces VICE (Visual Interactive Computing Environment), an extension to the CyVerse Discovery Environment (DE). It enables users to launch modern data science Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) including Project Jupyter, RStudio, and Shiny, without having to download data or move to another platform to analyze the results from analysis workflows. As a fully integrated piece of the CyVerse data management platform, VICE handles transferring data and returning the results back to the Data Store for you securely.

CyVerse users can take advantage of many existing VICE-based applications or request creation of a customized version. This introductory webinar will demonstrate how to use VICE-based applications and how to design a workflow for creating your own application.

For those interested in using notebooks and creating applications using Jupyter and R Shiny, we will do a live demonstration and walk-through for using and creating applications in VICE.

​Come and explore how VICE and its easy-to-use web-interface can help streamline your research, allowing you to focus more on science and less on software installations.
