Analytics Workspaces are virtual environments offered to Brain-CODE users to facilitate analysis on large and complex datasets. Rather than relying on the resources provided on your local computer, users can remotely access Workspaces powered through the Centre for Advanced Computing (CAC) at Queen’s University, providing users with memory, storage, and cores that may not be available to them locally.

...

  • Power: Access to more GB and cores of computing power than the resources of a local computer.

  • Security: Professionally managed by the Indoc Consortium staff.

  • Storage: 2TB or more per workspace.

  • Ease of Use: Pick up analyses from where you left off.

  • Data Integration: Combine datasets to discover underlying patterns of diseases.

What types of workspaces are currently available?
