Scientific gateways bring enormous benefits to end users by simplifying access and hiding the complexity of the underlying distributed computing infrastructure. Gateways require significant development and maintenance efforts. BioinfoPortal[1], through its CSGrid[2]  middleware, takes advantage of Santos Dumont [3] heterogeneous resources. However, task submission still requires a substantial step regarding deciding the best configuration that leads to efficient execution. This project aims to develop green and intelligent scientific gateways for BioinfoPortal supported by high-performance computing environments (HPC) and specialised technologies such as scientific workflows, data mining, machine learning, and deep learning. The efficient analysis and interpretation of Big Data opens new challenges to explore molecular biology, genetics, biomedical, and healthcare to improve personalised diagnostics and therapeutics; finding new avenues to deal with this massive amount of information becomes necessary. New Bioinformatics and Computational Biology paradigms drive storage, management, and data access. HPC and Big Data advanced in this domain represent a vast new field of opportunities for bioinformatics researchers and a significant challenge. the BioinfoPortal science gateway is a multiuser Brazilian infrastructure. We present several challenges for efficiently executing applications and discuss the findings on improving the use of computational resources. We performed several large-scale bioinformatics experiments that are considered computationally intensive and time-consuming. We are currently coupling artificial intelligence to generate models to analyze computational and bioinformatics metadata to understand how automatic learning can predict computational resources’ efficient use. The computational executions are conducted at Santos Dumont, the largest supercomputer in Latin America, dedicated to the research community with 5.1 Petaflops and 36,472 computational cores distributed in 1,134 computational nodes.
