  The MIT SuperCloud Portal Workspace enables the secure exposure of web
services running on high performance computing (HPC) systems. The portal allows
users to run any web application as an HPC job and access it from their
workstation while providing authentication, encryption, and access control at
the system level to prevent unintended access. This capability permits users to
seamlessly utilize existing and emerging tools that present their user
interface as a website on an HPC system creating a portal workspace.
Performance measurements indicate that the MIT SuperCloud Portal Workspace
incurs marginal overhead when compared to a direct connection of the same
service.
