Enabling Secure Data Discoverability (SC21 Tutorial)Globus
Major research instruments are generating orders of magnitude more data in relatively short timeframes. As a result, the research enterprise is increasingly challenged by what should be mundane tasks: describing data for discovery and making data securely accessible to the broader research community. The ad hoc methods currently employed place undue burden on scientists and system administrators alike, and it is clear that a more robust, scalable approach is required.
Bespoke data portals (and science gateways/data commons) are becoming more prominent as a means of enabling access to large datasets. in this tutorial we demonstrate how services for authentication, authorization, metadata management, and search may be integrated with popular web frameworks, and used in combination with fast, well-architected networks to make data discoverable and accessible. Outcomes: build a simple, but functional, data portal that facilitates flexible data description, faceted data search and secure data access.
I presented this keynote talk at the WorldComp conference in Las Vegas, on July 13, 2009. In it, I summarize what grid is about (focusing in particular on the "integration" function, rather than the "outsourcing" function--what people call "cloud" today), using biomedical examples in particular.

A Web-scale Study of the Adoption and Evolution of the schema.org Vocabulary ...Robert Meusel
Promoted by major search engines, schema.org has become a widely adopted standard for marking up structured data in HTML web pages. In this paper, we use a series of largescale Web crawls to analyze the evolution and adoption of schema.org over time. The availability of data from dierent points in time for both the schema and the websites deploying data allows for a new kind of empirical analysis of standards adoption, which has not been possible before. To conduct our analysis, we compare dierent versions of the schema.org vocabulary to the data that was deployed on hundreds of thousands of Web pages at dierent points in time. We measure both top-down adoption (i.e., the extent to which changes in the schema are adopted by data providers) as well as bottom-up evolution (i.e., the extent to which the actually deployed data drives changes in the schema). Our empirical analysis shows that both processes can be observed.

Automating Research Data Management at Scale with GlobusGlobus
Research computing facilities, such as the national supercomputing centers, and shared instruments, such as cryo electron microscopes and advanced light sources, are generating large volumes of data daily. These growing data volumes make it challenging for researchers to perform what should be mundane tasks: move data reliably, describe data for subsequent discovery, and make data accessible to geographically distributed collaborators. Most employ some set of ad hoc methods, which are not scalable, and it is clear that some level of automation is required for these tasks.
Globus is an established service from the University of Chicago that is widely used for managing research data in national laboratories, campus computing centers, and HPC facilities. While its intuitive web app addresses simple file transfer and sharing scenarios, automation at scale requires integrating Globus data management platform services into custom science gateways, data portals and other web applications in service of research. Such applications should enable automated ingest of data from diverse sources, launching of analysis runs on diverse computing resources, extraction and addition of metadata for creating search indexes, assignment of persistent identifiers faceted search for rapid data discovery, and point-and-click downloading of datasets by authorized users — all protected by an authentication and authorization substrate that allows the implementation of flexible data access policies for both metadata and data alike.
We describe current and emerging Globus services that facilitate these automated data flows while ensuring a streamlined user experience. We also demonstrate Petreldata.net, a data management portal and gateway to multiple computing resources, that supports large-scale research at the Advanced Photon Source.

New learning technologies seem likely to transform much of science, as they are already doing for many areas of industry and society. We can expect these technologies to be used, for example, to obtain new insights from massive scientific data and to automate research processes. However, success in such endeavors will require new learning systems: scientific computing platforms, methods, and software that enable the large-scale application of learning technologies. These systems will need to enable learning from extremely large quantities of data; the management of large and complex data, models, and workflows; and the delivery of learning capabilities to many thousands of scientists. In this talk, I review these challenges and opportunities and describe systems that my colleagues and I are developing to enable the application of learning throughout the research process, from data acquisition to analysis.

Datat and donuts: how to write a data management planC. Tobin Magle
Good data management practices are becoming increasingly important in the digital age. Because we now have the technology to freely share research data and also because funding agencies want to do more with decreasing research funds, many funding agencies and journals require authors and grantees to share their research data. To provide training in this area, Tobin Magle, the Morgan Library's Cyberinfrastructure Facilitator, is putting on a series of data management workshops called "Data and Donuts". The first session of Data and Donuts will discuss the importance of data management and how to write a data management plan.
Data scientists spend too much of their time collecting, cleaning and wrangling data as well as curating and enriching it. Some of this work is inevitable due to the variety of data sources, but there are tools and frameworks that help automate many of these non-creative tasks. A unifying feature of these tools is support for rich metadata for data sets, jobs, and data policies. In this talk, I will introduce state-of-the-art tools for automating data science and I will show how you can use metadata to help automate common tasks in Data Science. I will also introduce a new architecture for extensible, distributed metadata in Hadoop, called Hops (Hadoop Open Platform-as-a-Service), and show how tinker-friendly metadata (for jobs, files, users, and projects) opens up new ways to build smarter applications.
Being FAIR: FAIR data and model management SSBSS 2017 Summer SchoolCarole Goble
Lecture 1:
Being FAIR: FAIR data and model management
In recent years we have seen a change in expectations for the management of all the outcomes of research – that is the “assets” of data, models, codes, SOPs, workflows. The “FAIR” (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) Guiding Principles for scientific data management and stewardship [1] have proved to be an effective rallying-cry. Funding agencies expect data (and increasingly software) management retention and access plans. Journals are raising their expectations of the availability of data and codes for pre- and post- publication. The multi-component, multi-disciplinary nature of Systems and Synthetic Biology demands the interlinking and exchange of assets and the systematic recording of metadata for their interpretation.
Our FAIRDOM project (http://www.fair-dom.org) supports Systems Biology research projects with their research data, methods and model management, with an emphasis on standards smuggled in by stealth and sensitivity to asset sharing and credit anxiety. The FAIRDOM Platform has been installed by over 30 labs or projects. Our public, centrally hosted Asset Commons, the FAIRDOMHub.org, supports the outcomes of 50+ projects.
Now established as a grassroots association, FAIRDOM has over 8 years of experience of practical asset sharing and data infrastructure at the researcher coal-face ranging across European programmes (SysMO and ERASysAPP ERANets), national initiatives (Germany's de.NBI and Systems Medicine of the Liver; Norway's Digital Life) and European Research Infrastructures (ISBE) as well as in PI's labs and Centres such as the SynBioChem Centre at Manchester.
In this talk I will show explore how FAIRDOM has been designed to support Systems Biology projects and show examples of its configuration and use. I will also explore the technical and social challenges we face.
I will also refer to European efforts to support public archives for the life sciences. ELIXIR (http:// http://www.elixir-europe.org/) the European Research Infrastructure of 21 national nodes and a hub funded by national agreements to coordinate and sustain key data repositories and archives for the Life Science community, improve access to them and related tools, support training and create a platform for dataset interoperability. As the Head of the ELIXIR-UK Node and co-lead of the ELIXIR Interoperability Platform I will show how this work relates to your projects.

Globus Compute wth IRI Workflows - GlobusWorld 2024Globus
As part of the DOE Integrated Research Infrastructure (IRI) program, NERSC at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab and ALCF at Argonne National Lab are working closely with General Atomics on accelerating the computing requirements of the DIII-D experiment. As part of the work the team is investigating ways to speedup the time to solution for many different parts of the DIII-D workflow including how they run jobs on HPC systems. One of these routes is looking at Globus Compute as a way to replace the current method for managing tasks and we describe a brief proof of concept showing how Globus Compute could help to schedule jobs and be a tool to connect compute at different facilities.
Climate Science Flows: Enabling Petabyte-Scale Climate Analysis with the Eart...Globus
The Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) is a global network of data servers that archives and distributes the planet’s largest collection of Earth system model output for thousands of climate and environmental scientists worldwide. Many of these petabyte-scale data archives are located in proximity to large high-performance computing (HPC) or cloud computing resources, but the primary workflow for data users consists of transferring data, and applying computations on a different system. As a part of the ESGF 2.0 US project (funded by the United States Department of Energy Office of Science), we developed pre-defined data workflows, which can be run on-demand, capable of applying many data reduction and data analysis to the large ESGF data archives, transferring only the resultant analysis (ex. visualizations, smaller data files). In this talk, we will showcase a few of these workflows, highlighting how Globus Flows can be used for petabyte-scale climate analysis.
We describe the deployment and use of Globus Compute for remote computation. This content is aimed at researchers who wish to compute on remote resources using a unified programming interface, as well as system administrators who will deploy and operate Globus Compute services on their research computing infrastructure.

Innovating Inference - Remote Triggering of Large Language Models on HPC Clus...Globus
Large Language Models (LLMs) are currently the center of attention in the tech world, particularly for their potential to advance research. In this presentation, we'll explore a straightforward and effective method for quickly initiating inference runs on supercomputers using the vLLM tool with Globus Compute, specifically on the Polaris system at ALCF. We'll begin by briefly discussing the popularity and applications of LLMs in various fields. Following this, we will introduce the vLLM tool, and explain how it integrates with Globus Compute to efficiently manage LLM operations on Polaris. Attendees will learn the practical aspects of setting up and remotely triggering LLMs from local machines, focusing on ease of use and efficiency. This talk is ideal for researchers and practitioners looking to leverage the power of LLMs in their work, offering a clear guide to harnessing supercomputing resources for quick and effective LLM inference.
Providing Globus Services to Users of JASMIN for Environmental Data AnalysisGlobus
JASMIN is the UK’s high-performance data analysis platform for environmental science, operated by STFC on behalf of the UK Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). In addition to its role in hosting the CEDA Archive (NERC’s long-term repository for climate, atmospheric science & Earth observation data in the UK), JASMIN provides a collaborative platform to a community of around 2,000 scientists in the UK and beyond, providing nearly 400 environmental science projects with working space, compute resources and tools to facilitate their work. High-performance data transfer into and out of JASMIN has always been a key feature, with many scientists bringing model outputs from supercomputers elsewhere in the UK, to analyse against observational or other model data in the CEDA Archive. A growing number of JASMIN users are now realising the benefits of using the Globus service to provide reliable and efficient data movement and other tasks in this and other contexts. Further use cases involve long-distance (intercontinental) transfers to and from JASMIN, and collecting results from a mobile atmospheric radar system, pushing data to JASMIN via a lightweight Globus deployment. We provide details of how Globus fits into our current infrastructure, our experience of the recent migration to GCSv5.4, and of our interest in developing use of the wider ecosystem of Globus services for the benefit of our user community.
First Steps with Globus Compute Multi-User EndpointsGlobus
In this presentation we will share our experiences around getting started with the Globus Compute multi-user endpoint. Working with the Pharmacology group at the University of Auckland, we have previously written an application using Globus Compute that can offload computationally expensive steps in the researcher's workflows, which they wish to manage from their familiar Windows environments, onto the NeSI (New Zealand eScience Infrastructure) cluster. Some of the challenges we have encountered were that each researcher had to set up and manage their own single-user globus compute endpoint and that the workloads had varying resource requirements (CPUs, memory and wall time) between different runs. We hope that the multi-user endpoint will help to address these challenges and share an update on our progress here.
Enhancing Research Orchestration Capabilities at ORNL.pdfGlobus
Cross-facility research orchestration comes with ever-changing constraints regarding the availability and suitability of various compute and data resources. In short, a flexible data and processing fabric is needed to enable the dynamic redirection of data and compute tasks throughout the lifecycle of an experiment. In this talk, we illustrate how we easily leveraged Globus services to instrument the ACE research testbed at the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility with flexible data and task orchestration capabilities.
Understanding Globus Data Transfers with NetSageGlobus
NetSage is an open privacy-aware network measurement, analysis, and visualization service designed to help end-users visualize and reason about large data transfers. NetSage traditionally has used a combination of passive measurements, including SNMP and flow data, as well as active measurements, mainly perfSONAR, to provide longitudinal network performance data visualization. It has been deployed by dozens of networks world wide, and is supported domestically by the Engagement and Performance Operations Center (EPOC), NSF #2328479. We have recently expanded the NetSage data sources to include logs for Globus data transfers, following the same privacy-preserving approach as for Flow data. Using the logs for the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) as an example, this talk will walk through several different example use cases that NetSage can answer, including: Who is using Globus to share data with my institution, and what kind of performance are they able to achieve? How many transfers has Globus supported for us? Which sites are we sharing the most data with, and how is that changing over time? How is my site using Globus to move data internally, and what kind of performance do we see for those transfers? What percentage of data transfers at my institution used Globus, and how did the overall data transfer performance compare to the Globus users?
How to Position Your Globus Data Portal for Success Ten Good PracticesGlobus
Science gateways allow science and engineering communities to access shared data, software, computing services, and instruments. Science gateways have gained a lot of traction in the last twenty years, as evidenced by projects such as the Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI) and the Center of Excellence on Science Gateways (SGX3) in the US, The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) and its platforms in Australia, and the projects around Virtual Research Environments in Europe. A few mature frameworks have evolved with their different strengths and foci and have been taken up by a larger community such as the Globus Data Portal, Hubzero, Tapis, and Galaxy. However, even when gateways are built on successful frameworks, they continue to face the challenges of ongoing maintenance costs and how to meet the ever-expanding needs of the community they serve with enhanced features. It is not uncommon that gateways with compelling use cases are nonetheless unable to get past the prototype phase and become a full production service, or if they do, they don't survive more than a couple of years. While there is no guaranteed pathway to success, it seems likely that for any gateway there is a need for a strong community and/or solid funding streams to create and sustain its success. With over twenty years of examples to draw from, this presentation goes into detail for ten factors common to successful and enduring gateways that effectively serve as best practices for any new or developing gateway.
Exploring Innovations in Data Repository Solutions - Insights from the U.S. G...Globus
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has made substantial investments in meeting evolving scientific, technical, and policy driven demands on storing, managing, and delivering data. As these demands continue to grow in complexity and scale, the USGS must continue to explore innovative solutions to improve its management, curation, sharing, delivering, and preservation approaches for large-scale research data. Supporting these needs, the USGS has partnered with the University of Chicago-Globus to research and develop advanced repository components and workflows leveraging its current investment in Globus. The primary outcome of this partnership includes the development of a prototype enterprise repository, driven by USGS Data Release requirements, through exploration and implementation of the entire suite of the Globus platform offerings, including Globus Flow, Globus Auth, Globus Transfer, and Globus Search. This presentation will provide insights into this research partnership, introduce the unique requirements and challenges being addressed and provide relevant project progress.

COVID-19 had an unprecedented impact on scientific collaboration. The pandemic and its broad response from the scientific community has forged new relationships among public health practitioners, mathematical modelers, and scientific computing specialists, while revealing critical gaps in exploiting advanced computing systems to support urgent decision making. Informed by our team’s work in applying high-performance computing in support of public health decision makers during the COVID-19 pandemic, we present how Globus technologies are enabling the development of an open science platform for robust epidemic analysis, with the goal of collaborative, secure, distributed, on-demand, and fast time-to-solution analyses to support public health.

Listen to the keynote address and hear about the latest developments from Rachana Ananthakrishnan and Ian Foster who review the updates to the Globus Platform and Service, and the relevance of Globus to the scientific community as an automation platform to accelerate scientific discovery.
Enhancing Performance with Globus and the Science DMZGlobus
ESnet has led the way in helping national facilities—and many other institutions in the research community—configure Science DMZs and troubleshoot network issues to maximize data transfer performance. In this talk we will present a summary of approaches and tips for getting the most out of your network infrastructure using Globus Connect Server.
Extending Globus into a Site-wide Automated Data Infrastructure.pdfGlobus
The Rosalind Franklin Institute hosts a variety of scientific instruments, which allow us to capture a multifaceted and multilevel view of biological systems, generating around 70 terabytes of data a month. Distributed solutions, such as Globus and Ceph, facilitates storage, access, and transfer of large amount of data. However, we still must deal with the heterogeneity of the file formats and directory structure at acquisition, which is optimised for fast recording, rather than for efficient storage and processing. Our data infrastructure includes local storage at the instruments and workstations, distributed object stores with POSIX and S3 access, remote storage on HPCs, and taped backup. This can pose a challenge in ensuring fast, secure, and efficient data transfer. Globus allows us to handle this heterogeneity, while its Python SDK allows us to automate our data infrastructure using Globus microservices integrated with our data access models. Our data management workflows are becoming increasingly complex and heterogenous, including desktop PCs, virtual machines, and offsite HPCs, as well as several open-source software tools with different computing and data structure requirements. This complexity commands that data is annotated with enough details about the experiments and the analysis to ensure efficient and reproducible workflows. This talk explores how we extend Globus into different parts of our data lifecycle to create a secure, scalable, and high performing automated data infrastructure that can provide FAIR[1,2] data for all our science.

One of these routes is looking at Globus Compute as a way to replace the current method for managing tasks and I will give a brief proof of concept showing how Globus Compute could help to schedule jobs and be a tool to connect compute at different facilities.
Reactive Documents and Computational Pipelines - Bridging the GapGlobus
As scientific discovery and experimentation become increasingly reliant on computational methods, the static nature of traditional publications renders them progressively fragmented and unreproducible. How can workflow automation tools, such as Globus, be leveraged to address these issues and potentially create a new, higher-value form of publication? LivePublication leverages Globus’s custom Action Provider integrations and Compute nodes to capture semantic and provenance information during distributed flow executions. This information is then embedded within an RO-crate and interfaced with a programmatic document, creating a seamless pipeline from instruments, to computation, to publication.
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
