Powerful virtual machines (compute instances) that provide interactive remote desktop interface with 3D Slicer and SlicerMorph preloaded for 3D digital morphology and morphometrics data processing.
To get more information about these instances, please review this document.
In a nutshell, you:
- Have a research and/or teaching focus centered on 3D biological structure (e.g., 3D morphometrics, or visualization);
- Need occasional access to powerful computers with large amounts of RAM (125GB), cores (32), and optionally with a GPU (A100) to work with large datasets;
- You have a github account;
- You have an ORCID with a public profile.

-
A: Side toolbar that gets activated by pressing the
CTRL (or CMD)+ALT+SHIFTkeys. It allows copy/paste into the remote session, browse and download files on the remote drive and adjust screen zoom levels (cut from the screenshot). -
B: Shortcuts to commonly used applications and to MyData storage volume.
-
C: Displays list of available applications (searchable)
-
D: Right mouse clicking anywhere on desktop brings this menu, including changing screen resolution (Display settings).
-
E: Click on this icon anytime to extend your session for additional 4 hours.
MorphoCloud services, including MorphoCloud OnDemand Instances, are supported by funding from National Science Foundation (DBI/2301405) and National Institutes of Health (NICHD/HD104435). MorphoCloud runs on cyberinfrastructure that is made available by current and previous funding from by National Science Foundation (Jetstream2: OAC/2005506, Exosphere: TI/2229642). Initial development of SlicerMorph was previously supported by National Science Foundation (DBI/1759883).
If you use any of the MorphoCloud services for your project, please acknowledge our funders with this statement:
“This study relied on cyberinstructure supported by grants from National Science Foundation (MorphoCloud: DBI/2301405; JetStream2: OAC/2005506; Exosphere: TI/2229642) and National Institutes of Health (MorphoCloud: NICHD HD104435).”
