Virtual Conference
The Globus team is participating in this year's virtual online conference. Please stop by our virtual booth and chat with our team during the conference.
The ECSS Symposium allows the over 70 ECSS staff members to exchange on a monthly basis information about successful techniques used to address challenging science problems.
The Virtual Residency Workshop brings together hundreds of cyberinfrastructure and research computing practitioners. Join Rachana as she leads a panel to discuss the state of the art, best practices, and challenges in managing research data. She will be joined on the panel by:
Some of the world’s most challenging problems—including fighting diseases, increasing food production, battling climate change, and advancing Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning—are enabled by High-Performance Computing (HPC). A big part of HPC workflows is sharing data with distributed collaborators. Join us for a discussion on the challenges of managing and storing HPC data with our partner Caringo, a leader in software-defined object storage solutions.
Bio-IT World recently convened an all-star panel to discuss infrastructure, standards, privacy issues and more, in the COVID-19 era. Here are some quotable quotes from our friends at ESnet and Bioteam:
“If your workflow was already 100% network-based, and all you’re doing is orchestrating data movement, data placement, data analysis between large-scale infrastructure systems, you can be home and socially distanced—right?—and continue your work. If your work requires you physically carrying around USB hard drives, suddenly you’re stopped.” - Eli Dart, ESnet.
A team led by UChicago CS researchers Ian Foster and Kyle Chard and Daniel S. Katz of the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois is building funcX, a new distributed "function-as-a-service" (FaaS) platform that makes it easier for researchers to easily and automatically delegate their computational workload.
By now many of us are working from home, out of labs and offices, and off campus. For several this necessity was a bit of a surprise, finding out over the weekend that you were now in remote work mode.
It may be surprising that with a PhD in biochemistry, Brigitte Raumann spends a lot of time these days considering data storage and transport in high energy physics and astronomy. But that also puts her in the perfect position to recognize some of the lessons from those disciplines that the life sciences can pick up.
Bio-IT World sat down with Raumann to talk about the challenges she sees in data management in the life sciences and the solutions available.
