Intro to Tapis
Tapis Frequest Question
What is Tapis?
Tapis is an NSF-funded API platform for managing high-performance computing (HPC) systems, running jobs, and managing data across HPC centers. Tapis allows users to manage compute resources, submit jobs, manage files through APIs or TapisUI.What is Flexserv?
Flexserv is a Tapis service that allows you to deploy and serve AI/ML models on HPC or VM resources. It provides inference endpoints and a graphical interface for managing the service.Where can I ask questions after the tutorial?
