Michael Couso, a research computing support supervisor, discussed how the University of Montana became a contributor to the OSPool. Couso discussed connecting to the OSPool and opening the door to a broad community and the process of scaling up and growing outward.
Peter Pizzimenti, Associate Director of Research Computing at Syracuse University, discusses why Syracuse invests in research computing, What it takes to support research computing and where they are going.
Patricia Tran, bioinformatics and computational pipeline scientist, bioinformatics research support service, discusses working with big data in biology and the requirements to be scalable, flexible and use high throughput computing.
Sarvani Chadalapaka discusses UC Merced's Cyberinfrastructre and Research Technologies Mission and both its contribution and use of OSG resources, noting that they chose OSG because of its alignment with CC* requirements, pre-proposal and deployment support and training and onboarding support.
Kevin Thompson from the Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure of the National Science Foundation discussed the Camus Cyberinfrastructure (CC*) vision. Thompson discusses the CC* Program that is Coordinated in networking, compute and storage. Thompson also discusses the contributors to the OSPool and the services of the OSDF.
NSF NCAR’s labs and programs collectively cover a breadth of research topics in Earth system science, from the effects of the Sun on Earth's atmosphere to the role of the ocean in weather and climate prediction, as well as supporting and training the next-generation of Earth system scientists. However, with the current legacy `download and analyze’ model followed by most of our remote users, we are not realizing the full research potential of NCAR’s wealth of datasets. Our goal is to integrate NCAR’s curated data collections with the OSDF data and compute fabric to broaden access capabilities. In this talk, we present progress on this collaboration and demonstrate geoscience workflows which ingest data from NCAR’s Research Data Archive using pelicanFS via OSDF caches.
Wheat, Senior Professor of Computer Science at Oral Roberts University, discusses the campus CC* awards, contributing to the OSPool and its impact on the ORU faculty and students.
Oana Carja discusses using the OSPool and high throughput computing in the field of biological evolution, with the aim of understanding the rules that govern evolutionary processes.
Prakriti Garg presents on using throughput computing to study the gene regulatory network using network inference and unsupervised learning
Brian Bockelman, the Pelican Platform PI, discussed what Pelican does, and how it can be used. Bockelman discusses the Pelican Project that builds a software platform that delivers data to throughput computing and the Open Science Data Federation (OSDF), a global deployment of the platform.
Frank Wuerthwein, OSG Executive Director, discusses the current state of OSG, the compute and data services provided by OSG, fun facts on usage, and goals for the future.
Mátyás Selmeci discusses placement tokens, experimental work in the area of authorization to make it easier to grant, audit, and revoke access to the job placement services that an Access Point provides.
Jim Basney presents on CILogon, a 15+ year effort to enable secure longon to scientific cyberinfrastructure (CI) for seamless identity and access management using federated identities (SAML, OIDC, OAuth, JWT) so researchers log on with their existing credentials.
Miron Livny provides the opening remarks for HTC25. Livny discusses the Center for High Throughput Computing (CHTC) vision: Distributed high throughput computing and research computing facilitation are powerful enables or scientific discovery; The value proposition of throughput computing for researchers with AI workloads, and translational (computer) science. He also discusses that building a lasting relationship with a community requires an evolving value proposition and mutual trust.
Fermilab is the first High Energy Physics institution to transition from X.509 user certificates to authentication tokens in production systems. All the experiments that Fermilab hosts are now using JSON Web Token (JWT) access tokens in their grid jobs. The tokens are defined using the WLCG Common JWT Profile. Many software components have been either created or updated for this transition, and the changes to those components are described. Most of the software is available to others as open source. There have been some glitches and learning curve issues but in general the system has been performing well and is being improved as operational problems are addressed.
Christina Koch presents on facilitation impacts at HTC25. Lead Research Computing Facilitator Christine Koch describes the facilitation services provided to researchers and ways to connect. In addition, Koch discusses PATh's role as a resource provider for NAIRR and building a data community.
Recent technological advances have revealed an enormous diversity of lifeforms by sequencing their genomes. There are now millions of available genomes, each comprised of thousands of genes. The universe of newly discovered genes is expanding far faster than our ability to study them in the laboratory. Here, Erik Wright presents how high-throughput computing is unlocking the function of novel genes at an unfathomable scale.
The OSG David Swanson award is awarded each year in memory of David Swanson to an attendee of the OSG School who has gone on to do interesting things. This year's recipient, Brandi Pessman, presents on how spiders respond to rising noise levels in cities. Using high-throughput computing, Brandi digitally reconstructed spider webs to track spider movements during web construction.
Jason Kwan presents on the use of high-throughput computing in metagenomics research, discussing how CHTC allows for large-scale searches and metagenomic assemblies that require a lot of RAM.
CHTC Fellows discuss the work and goals of their Fellows Projects - for CHTC and Pelican
Justin Hiemstra discusses access to data via tokens that you bring to the Origin to get your data. Hiemstra's talk explores the problems this complex system is trying to solve, why we don't use something simple like passwords and what Pelican is going to make it easier for users.
