The company · Leiden, the Netherlands
We are releasing Salpa, a modern, best-practice visual workflow tool for scientific computing. We are building the community and the developer tools around it. We aim to boost open science and molecular-science solutions, collaboratively.
Salpa 0.15.0 · macOS · Linux · Windows · free
Our work, in three layers
Advanced scientific computing, within every researcher’s reach.
Methods from our own research in multiscale simulation and metal chemistry, built on the open tools of the field.
On the mapBroad, calm ground.
Hard problems in health, starting with bond-forming and metal-containing inhibitors. We break each design question into physical questions and answer them from first principles.
For a light-activated, metal-based compound, three questions decide whether it works:
We are preparing a research programme on this with a partner laboratory.
On the mapThe contours tighten around one peak, with two summits: bond-forming (covalent) inhibitors, and metal-containing compounds.
Salpa takes away the code, the setup and the hardware, and we help you with the rest.
On the mapA ridge of code, setup and hardware, and a route through the pass.
A free desktop app for macOS, Linux and Windows. Build and run pipelines as visual node graphs.
Open workflow packages, installable from inside the app. Every package is free.
Managed GPUs for the heavy steps of your workflow, with a free tier. No cloud account needed.
Scaffold, test and push node packages of your own, from the terminal.
How we work with research groups and partners.
Free, hands-on help getting a workflow running on your own work.
One hard case, a workflow that has to survive, or a joint research project, on methods that stay open.
Designed candidates and materials, confirmed in a partner laboratory.
Salpa Foundry · Phase 0 · live since 1 Oct 2026
Free, hands-on help to get a workflow running on your own work.
A good first task: molecular dynamics from a PDB code, about five minutes on a laptop.
The current version of the desktop app, free for macOS, Linux and Windows.
Salpa Foundry is the network we are starting for people who use and build computational methods in molecular science. Its first step, Phase 0, is free and hands-on: we help a few research groups at a time get a workflow running on their own work, starting with molecular dynamics from a PDB code. To join, write to dev@bocores.com.
Jacob Woltjer joins BoundaryComputing as cofounder, leading business development. He comes to it as a user first: eight months building real workflows in Salpa for his MSc thesis — AI protein generative models, quantum-chemistry force-field parameterization and all-atom MD in a single pipeline — defended in July with a top mark.
