Massive power, minimal complexity
Because services within a workflow do not normally reside on the machine you use to create and run the workflow,
your local machine does not have to be a supercomputer.

a number of institutes, hundreds of analysis applications and literally thousands of CPUs worth of
computational power entirely for free, with no installation or support hassle for you.
Of course, if you already have significant resource in house it is a relatively simple matter to
integrate these resources in Taverna with those available from other sites.
