The Bio-IT World Conference & Expo recently hosted the third annual Bio-IT FAIR Data Hackathon, giving experts in life sciences and IT the opportunity to FAIR-ify a range of existing data sets. Eight teams of researchers spent two days using unique identifiers, linking additional data sets, and collecting appropriate metadata, all the while adhering to the principles of FAIR—Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable—data.
It’s been more than twenty years since the first public release of Globus software. In this article originally posted on the Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI) blog, Globus Senior Technical Writer Lee Liming and Chief Customer Officer Vas Vasiliadis discuss the routes we've explored toward sustainability—and what we've learned along the way.
Functions-as-a-Service (FaaS) are coming to HPC. Already employed in some services-oriented infrastructures, for example, Argonne Scholar Ryan Chard and collaborators are pioneering their introduction into HPC. From use of Singularity and Globus, this is an HPC-centric introduction indeed.
In this video from Singularity User Group, Ryan Chard from Globus at Argonne National Lab discusses "FuncX: A Function Serving Platform for HPC":
In this video from the Singularity User Group, Rick Wagner from Globus presents: Managing large-scale cosmology simulations with Parsl and Singularity.
Ian Foster, director of Argonne’s Data Science and Learning division at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory and an Argonne Distinguished Fellow, has received the 2019 IEEE Computer Society Charles Babbage Award. The award recognizes Foster’s “outstanding contributions in the areas of parallel computing languages, algorithms, and technologies for scalable distributed applications.”
