Hello
Science
Beautiful, unique.
Impossible to re-create
Snowflake Science
Reproducibility
Reproducibility scales science
Reproduce. Reuse. Remix.
Value++

How do we get from here to there? 5PRINCIPLES REPRODUCIBILITY
OF
1. Data has Gravity 5 PRINCIPLES REPRODUCIBILITY OF
Increasingly large data collections
1000 Genomes Project: 200Tb
Challenging to obtain and manage
Expensive to experiment
Large barrier to reproducibility
Data size will increase
Data integration will increase
Data dependencies will increase
Move data to the users
Move data to the users X
Move tools to the data
Place data where it can consumed by tools
Place tools where they can access data
None

More data, more users, more uses, more locations

Cost and complexity kill reproducibility
Utility computing

Performance through productivity

2. Ease of use is a pre-requisite 5 PRINCIPLES REPRODUCIBILITY
OF

Help overcome the suck threshold
Easy to embrace and extend
Choose the right abstraction for the user

Infonauts are hackers
They have their own way of working
The ‘Big Red Button’
Fire and forget reproduction is a good first step, but
limits longer term value.
Monolithic, one-stop-shop
Work well for intended purpose
Challenging to install, dependency heavy
Di cult to grok
Inflexible
Infonauts are hackers: embrace it.
Small things. Loosely coupled.
Easier to grok
Easier to reuse
Easier to integrate
Lower barrier to entry
Scale out
Build for reuse. Be remix friendly. Maximize value.
4. Build for collaboration 5 PRINCIPLES REPRODUCIBILITY OF
Workflows are memes
Reproduction is just the first step
Bill of materials: code, data, configuration, infrastructure
Full definition for reproduction
Utility computing provides a playground for bioinformatics
Code + AMI + custom datasets + public datasets +
databases + compute + result data
Code + AMI + custom datasets + public datasets +
databases + compute + result data
Code + AMI + custom datasets + public datasets +
databases + compute + result data
Code + AMI + custom datasets + public datasets +
databases + compute + result data
Package, automate, contribute.
Utility platform provides scale for production runs
Drug discovery on 50k cores: Less than $1000
5. Provenance is a first class object 5 PRINCIPLES REPRODUCIBILITY
OF
Versioning becomes really important
Especially in an active community
Doubly so with loosely coupled tools
Provenance metadata is a first class entity
Distributed provenance
