CBRAIN and GBRAIN: A Distributed Platform for Brain Imaging Research

The CBRAIN platform connects 5 Canadian brain imaging research centres to 5 high-performance computing centres spread across the country, allowing for the processing, exchange and visualization of data. GBRAIN, the international extension of the CBRAIN platform, will connect 3 new international brain research partners. Interacting with a standard web browser, users can apply complex pipelines to large remote datasets (up to 1TB in size) using a variety of network-available resources. Supported by CANARIE’s high-bandwidth network infrastructure, this international high-bandwidth neuroimaging platform will give researchers access to the processing power of 35,000 cores spread across North America, Europe and Asia.
