Schematic depiction of the GenUI platform architecture. On the frontend (A), users interact with the web-based GUI to access the backend server REST API services (B). All actions and data exchange are facilitated through REST API calls so that any automated process can also interact with GenUI. The backend application comprises five REST API services each of which has access to the data storage and task queue subsystems. The services can issue computationally intensive and long-running asynchronous tasks to backend workers to ensure sufficient responsiveness and scalability. In the current implementation, tasks can be submitted to two queues: (1) the default CPU queue, which handles all tasks by default, or (2) the GPU queue, intended for tasks that can be accelerated by the use of GPUs
