OneSciencePlace
The OneSciencePlace platform is welcoming new projects. Contact OARC to connect about your project needs.
OneSciencePlace is an online platform designed to transform research computing, data management, and repositories into a seamless experience. The platform is composable, meaning that it comes with a set of building blocks that can easily be configured to build tailored solutions for common research needs, such as a science gateway that curate discipline-specific applications and data, an HPC portal that can be paired with local and remote clusters, or a data and publication repository for a project or institution.
It enables users to rapidly deploy science gateways, HPC portals, and custom solutions while integrating multiple computing resources—local, remote, and cloud—within a single environment.
The platform emphasizes FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) content delivery, allowing researchers to import, run, and share applications directly from a web browser. Additionally, it fosters collaboration by enabling users to publish, reuse, and interact with apps, data, and articles in a unified space.
With a strong emphasis on impact measurement and cost efficiency, it accelerates the delivery of cyberinfrastructure and community building, making it an ideal platform for OARC users and other projects seeking to enhance their research capabilities.
The OneSciencePlace project was motivated by the NSF, the Science Gateways Community Institute, and broad community feedback to build a modern and robust, domain-agnostic cyberinfrastructure. It drew on extensive analysis, experience, and emerging community needs to make choices for the platform’s technology infrastructure. Decisions about the technology took into account its maturity, extensibility, and maintainability, as well as the overall ecosystem and whether the technology is open-source. The platform has undergone several iterations, informed by end-user testing, to deliver a platform that is compelling to stakeholders and end-users.

Quakeworx
Quakeworx is a science gateway that provides an accessible, web-based cyberinfrastructure for the earthquake-science community to seamlessly run, reuse, and contribute advanced computational tools for simulation and data analysis. Designed to reduce technical barriers and accelerate scientific discovery, Quakeworx enables rapid adoption of emerging methods while supporting reproducibility and FAIR data practices.
The platform delivers a growing suite of state-of-the-art earthquake modeling applications, including SeisSol, Tandem, MooseFarm, UCERF3-ETAS, pyCSEP, and HFQsim. These applications can be executed seamlessly in either batch or interactive mode on project servers, national HPC, and cloud computing resources.
Quakeworx Science Gateway is a customized instance of the OneSciencePlace platform. Its key capabilities are:
- Curated Apps and Pipelines: Preconfigured simulation and modeling tools ready to run with reference configurations.
- Curated Data: Shared datasets for benchmark problems and scenario simulations, with tracked provenance.
- Job Management: Monitoring and tracking of resource usage and job history.
- Publishing Tools: Support for publishing data, results, workflows, and reports with persistent identifiers in alignment with FAIR principles.
- Community Contributions: Users can upload new applications (via containers or executables), datasets, or publications directly through the browser.
- Access Control: Fine-grained sharing options allow users to keep resources private or share them broadly with the community.
- User Management: Integrated single sign-on (SSO) for institutional users across academia and government.
