Project Description

From the experience of developing SlicerHub (present at 38th edition of NA-MIC) within OpenDx28 project, using Teide HPC infrastructure, open issues and future vision should be discussed to define work for the forthcoming project, the Virtual Hospital.

Objective

1. Talk with experts present at the workshop to gather information to formulate possible solutions to having multiple Kubernetes pods using OpenGL in the same node.
2. Open discussion to define and take note of vision and specific desirable features of having SlicerHub in a virtual hospital.

Approach and Plan

1. Show the deployed implementation to interested people.
2. Explain issues. Mostly focus on executing Slicer multiple times in the same Kubernetes node with OpenGL accelerated by an nVidia card.
3. Take note of possible approaches or solutions for the issues.
4. Explain ideas for SlicerHub in the Virtual Hospital to interested people. From resource profiles, to preconfigured sessions (with pre-loaded data), etc.
5. Document new ideas or modify existing ones.

Progress and Next Steps

1. Describe specific steps you have actually done.
