Open Software & HPC Tools

12 in-house tools, built on supercomputers.

From large-scale virtual screening orchestration to web servers for diabetes and cosmetic drug prediction — all our tools are described in peer-reviewed publications and openly accessible for academic use. Commercial-grade deployments are available on private HPC infrastructure under contract.

Need more capacity, full data isolation, or a custom front-end?

Our HPC tools can be deployed on your own cluster, on dedicated UCAM infrastructure, or as a private SaaS tailored to your security and throughput requirements.

Private cluster deployment

Tools installed and tuned on your HPC, with your own data never leaving your premises.

Custom front-end

Web interfaces matching your team’s workflow, branded under your project.

Dedicated UCAM HPC

We run the campaigns for you, deliver curated results and integrate with your downstream pipelines.
