Free tier	"Each free nanoHUB account comes with 10 GB of free storage space, and three app sessions can be run simultaneously. Each session can have many runs, and persist over multiple days so long as you remain active with them." Accounts are created with "your existing Google account, an email account, or your own institution's account if it is a member of InCommon", and the catalogue holds over 600 simulation apps whose "computational power is provided by nanoHUB [...] these are provided by servers or supercomputer clusters". unit GiB; metered on wall-clock; perpetual-open-registration

Composes with	nanoHUB composes with a batch programme rather than replacing one: an app can be pointed at an external cluster allocation, so a client holding any of the allocations in this file could front it with a nanoHUB interface, though the reverse, using nanoHUB as a general compute backend, does not work.
Reliability	no reliability event recorded
Notes	The strongest identity profile alongside Galaxy: Google or email registration, no institution, no review, and 600-plus published apps. The caveat is shape rather than identity, because nanoHUB runs published tool engines through a web interface, so the client gets a simulation capability and not a machine, and the domain is nanotechnology and semiconductors with some general-purpose tools such as MATLAB. Per-app core and memory limits are set by each app and not published centrally, so no core-hour figure is given here. The corpus holds no nanoHUB record.
