The petabytes produced and consumed by exascale computers must often be moved among elements of the international scientific infrastructure. Scientists have long relied upon Globus for efficient, reliable, and secure data movement, and indeed as of 10/18/2021, Globus has been used to move more than 1018 bytes (1,343,546,072,100,387,000,000 bytes to be precise) among more than 20,000 labs worldwide.
As part of the Symposium there is a panel discussion which includes industry partners who have done work with ICS researchers. Globus and PSU will discuss their partnered research
On March 7th of 2016, a couple of members of the Globus team started working on replacing the globusonline-transfer-api-client package. We debated what to call it. Was it the globus-client? Just globus-python? "What about SDK -- Standard Development Kit?" "Yeah, SDK is good."
Bio IT World, Boston, MA – September 21, 2021 – Today Globus announced support for Microsoft Azure Blob Storage, providing the research community with secure, reliable, and easy to use data management services for Microsoft’s massively scalable and secure object storage for cloud-native and hybrid workloads, data lakes, high-performance computing, and machine learning.
To accommodate database upgrades, Globus Auth and Transfer services will be unavailable for up to 30 minutes beginning at 10 am US Central on Saturday, September 18, 2021.
During this planned downtime, the following will be impacted:
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) provide leadership and direction for research programs aimed at enhancing health, lengthening life, and reducing illness and disability. Data is an important ingredient for—and a product of—these projects. Historically, each program has managed the data it produces independently. Among the NIH institutes, a program called the Common Fund sponsors a portfolio of ambitious initiatives, each of which generates biomedical data of high value to the research community.
During the month of July Globus transferred over 800 Terabytes of data on Comet, a dedicated NSF funded eXtreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment (XSEDE) cluster at the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC). While Comet is now officially retired, users will still have access to the Comet filesystems via Globus to facilitate data migration.
The GlobusWorld Tour provides an interactive forum for learning about and experimenting with the Globus service. In this comprehensive workshop we provide a summary review of Globus features targeted at those new to Globus, and demonstrate core features from the perspective of a researcher. For system administrators, we review the process for installing and configuring Globus endpoints on various storage systems. And for developers, we introduce Globus platform services and demonstrate how you may leverage them in your own applications and automated data flows.
