This project will deliver BASIL through +> a web portal, as a command-line tool, and through APIs. BASIL has +> a broad applicability across multiple domains of deep societal +> impact such as artificial intelligence, drug discovery, and +> earthquake engineering. By enabling the preservation of valuable +> legacy software and making them usable for several years in +> future, BASIL will save cost and time in software rewriting and +> software installations, and thus contribute towards advancing the +> prosperity of the society. The project will result in educational +> content on ?Introduction to Containerization? and students engaged +> in the project will develop valuable skills in the areas of +> national interest such as supercomputing/High Performance +> Computing (HPC) and cloud computing."
