Releases, product notes, and research from BoundaryComputing. It is early — this is where new things will land.
At the 18th European Biological Inorganic Chemistry Conference in Groningen, our founder Xinmeng Li presented Salpa — an open visual workflow platform that turns multi-step simulation pipelines (quantum chemistry, force-field generation, MD, docking) into interactive node graphs a researcher can run without scripting. The talk walked through two metal-chemistry workflows built entirely from open methods.

A year ago, our proposal to build an open visual-workflow platform was turned down — one reviewer called it “overly ambitious” for a single work package. Today that platform, Salpa, is in a stable, ready-to-use state, built without the grant: open infrastructure for reproducible scientific computing, shipping now.

Jacob Woltjer defended his MSc thesis on visual scientific workflows — with a top mark. His project chained AI protein generative models, quantum-chemistry-based force-field parameterization, and all-atom MD into a single Salpa workflow, producing insight for anticancer metallopeptide design and supporting experimental findings.
Get involved →We were glad to welcome Drs. Taku Ozawa and Koji Okuwaki of JSOL Corporation to Leiden for an afternoon of exchange — on J-OCTA and JSOL’s long track record in multiscale modeling, their recent FMO-based methods, and shared interests in where simulation meets modern AI. Thanks for a generous visit and conversation.
Our research →Salpa — our visual app for scientific computing workflows — is in free technical preview. Try it and tell us what breaks.
Try Salpa ↗Our official, open collection — the salpa-hub repository — is being opened up. Install ready-made pipelines, or contribute your own.
