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.

1. BASIC COMPUTER SKILLS
On any given day, most of what you do will involve computer systems. The
Television channels you watch, the radio stations that you listen to, the car
that you drive in, and even the cash register at the local grocery store are all
controlled in some way by computer systems! They help us perform tasks,
keep track of a great deal of information, and even control the airplanes that
fly above us. During the course of this class, you will learn about how they
work, how to perform simple tasks, and much, much more.

Identifying Major Computer Components
As with most products, computers are designed in a variety of ways. There are, however,
major similarities regardless of brand. All computers have the following components and
mechanisms:
THE MONITOR:
The monitor looks like a television screen and is where you see what is happening on your
computer. By using shadows and graphics with over a million colors, much of what you
see will appear 3-dimensional.
THE TOWER/CPU:
“CPU” stands for “Central Processing Unit” and houses the machinery that allows your
system to work correctly. In a laptop, all the pieces are squished under the keyboard, but
in a desktop it is usually a separate unit
THE KEYBOARD:
The keyboard is one of two ways to input data into your computer. It has been modeled
after a traditional typewriter.
THE MOUSE:
This is another way to input commands into your computer. Most mice have two buttons,
but some feature up to five! On laptops, they are often designed as a “touch pad” with two
buttons.
The following things are important to consider when appraising a computer system:
*How fast can it perform tasks?
*How much data can it store?
*How many programs (i.e. software) can it run simultaneously?

BCPLS 09/10/2010 PEMA

INPUT/OUTPUT DEVICES
Computer Systems are designed to work with “data.” Data comes in a lot of forms, whether
it is typed data (such as a letter to a friend), audio data (like a song), video data (like a
popular movie or DVD) and more. Certain types of software programs work with different
types of data. For example, the popular iPod device from Apple Computer works primarily
with audio data, and Microsoft Word works primarily with written data. The keyboard is
just one of the ways in which you can input data into the computer system. Conversely,
there are a number of ways to get data off of the computer, such as printing it out on paper,
copying it to a CD-ROM or DVD, or publishing it to the Internet.
It is a common misconception that computer systems have “a mind of their own.” Although
they can perform tasks much easier than humans can (like counting, performing
mathematical calculations and more), they always respond to your commands! In fact,
the computer system will do nothing that you do not tell it to do. In this vain, it is
important to remember that you are in control of the computer in the same way that you
are in control of your car. It won’t move until you put your foot on the accelerator, and it
will not stop until you press the brake.
How Computer Systems Work
OPERATING SYSTEMS
Computers without operating systems are exactly like televisions without a signal. Yes, it
will turn on, but you will be looking at a blank screen with no hope of interacting with it!
The most popular operating system on the planet is “Microsoft Windows,” and is utilized
by 90% of the world’s computers. It is a very complicated program that acts as the brains
of the computer, allowing you to run other programs, work on projects, and do basically
everything of which computers are capable.
There are other operating systems out there as well – the Apple Computer company uses an
operating system called “Mac OSX” which, while looking very different from Microsoft
Windows, runs under the same basic principles.
The operating system is so important that computers are sold with them already installed
and ready to go. In addition to this, popular software programs are often already on
computers, so all you have to do is plug it in! This is the equivalent of buying a television
set with cable already installed, as well as several DVD videos stored on it as well.
Do you ever need to mess with the operating system? No. It should run correctly and
without error for as long as you have your computer – in fact, if you ever bring your
computer to get fixed (for whatever reason), you can bet that the technician will be looking
primarily at your operating system (not your programs) in the same way that a mechanic
will look at your car engine.

In order to use your computer effectively, you must input commands using both the mouse and the
keyboard. Learning just a few certain keys will help to improve your efficiency in typing as well as
present you with more options within the program. The following is a list of commonly used keys
that have special functions :
1. Backspace: This key deletes backwards as you type.
2. Delete: This key deletes forwards as you type.
3. Shift: This key, when pressed WITH another key, will perform a secondary function. If the key is
a letter key, pressing the shift and letter key at the same time will result in a capitol letter. There
are 2 on the keyboard
4. Spacebar: This key enters a space between words as you type.
5. Tab: This key will force the cursor to indent, or jump forward 10 spaces.
6. Caps Lock: This key will present the capitalized version of each letter key. It is a toggle switch
that locks until you press it again.
7. Control (Ctrl) & Alternate (Alt): These keys, when pressed WITH another key, perform a
shortcut. There are 2 on the keyboard
8. Enter: This key executes a command (pressed in MS Word, it begins a new line)
9. Number keypad: This is a redundant keypad existing only for user preference. It is not present on
all keyboards.
10. Arrow keys: Like the mouse, these keys are used to navigate through the document.

A Word of Caution
Remember that computers are
machines just like any other mechanical
object. Sometimes, although rarely, they are
subject to failure, and certain parts must be
replaced. It is important to note that they also
need to be maintained, just like your car or
other machinery; adding a bit of sporadic care
to your computer will return to you in the long
run, allowing your system to run smoothly
and efficiently. Remember to be
careful with foods and liquids!
BCPLS 09/10/2010 PEMA

While the keyboard primarily inputs data (in the form of text and numbers) into the computer,
the mouse is used mostly for navigating around the screen. They come in a variety of shapes
and sizes, and are entirely designed for comfort.
Each mouse, however different they may be, all feature similar functions. A traditional mouse
has two buttons and a wheel between them (gray) that spins called a “trackwheel.” Both
buttons perform separate functions, and are known by which side of the mouse they are on.
In other words, pressing the LEFT mouse button is called “left-clicking,” while pressing the
RIGHT button is called “right-clicking.” Left-clicking is used far more often than right
clicking. For now, know that left-clicking executes a particular task, while right-clicking
presents menu options.
CLICKING
One of the most difficult things to learn when starting
out with computers is how to use the mouse. It takes
coordination, finesse, and precision. Fortunately,
every single time you practice, you will get better!
It is important to know that the mouse will
change its look and application depending on which
environment you are currently in. For example, the mouse will most often look like a
pointer: but occasionally will change into something else, like a hand. There are actually a lot
of possible combinations, depending on what task you are trying to perform.
The buttons on the mouse will also assume different roles, again depending on which
program you are using. If you are working in Microsoft Word, for example, the mouse will
offer options related to Microsoft Word. Conversely, if you are working in Microsoft Excel,
the mouse will offer options related to Microsoft Excel, and so on.
For now, remember these rules:
1. The LEFT mouse button SELECTS items.
2. The RIGHT mouse button GIVES YOU MORE OPTIONS.
3. Double-Clicking the LEFT mouse button EXECUTES options.
4. Double-Clicking the RIGHT mouse button DOES ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!
The Mouse
Practice makes perfect. Using the keyboard and mouse may seem difficult at first,
but it will become easier over time. Note: the mouse is intended for you to use
with your right hand, regardless of whether or not you are right-handed.

TURNING THE SYSTEM ON
Let’s get started! As you sit down at your desk, you can assume that your computer system is
in one of two states:
OFF: This is exactly what it sounds like! The computer system is as good as being unplugged
from the wall. The monitor is black (nothing on it), there is no “whirring” sound from the
CPU, and the system is unresponsive to mouse movements. It is time to locate the POWER
switch on the front of the CPU and press it.
SLEEP MODE: Modern computers have a mode called “Sleep” in which the computer is
ON, but it has assumed an energy-efficient minimal power mode. To “wake” it up, simply
move the mouse around, and it will come back to life at exactly the same place that it went
to sleep (in other words, if you were using a word processing program and put it to sleep, it
would return to exactly what you were working on upon waking up!).
LOGGING ON
Once you turn the computer on, the monitor will show a series of tasks before it is ready for
your commands. This will last about one to two minutes; If the system is performing as it
should, however, you will probably come upon a log-in screen like the ones below.
This is called a “Log On” window, and it allows the computer system to be password
protected. If you do not see this window upon starting the computer, you can assume that
your computer is NOT password-protected and may be used by anyone.
If you are sitting in front of a public computer (such as the one that you might find at a
public library), it can be assumed that someone has already “logged on” for you.
Starting the Computer and Logging In

The computer will reach what is known as your desktop within a few minutes of turning it
on. Here you will see a digital representation of a real-life desktop, complete with a work-
space, files and file folders, and even a trash can!
One of the neatest features about Microsoft Windows is that your desktop may not look
anything like this one! While this sounds terribly unfair, it actually means that you are
able to manipulate, alter and change almost EVERYTHING about your desktop
environment. If you do not like the color blue as your background, where the icons are, or
even what language it is in, you can change it!

Microsoft Windows is a friendly, colorful and customizable operating system. Due to it being
a staple in a business environment, it also is extremely efficient and professional looking. It
has, just like any other piece of software, undergone many changes over the past 22 years, and
is now being released in a version called “Microsoft Windows 7.” Other versions of the
program that you might have heard about include “Windows 3.1,” Windows 95,” Windows
98,” “Windows ME,” “Windows XP,” “Microsoft Windows VISTA,” and the newest version:
“Windows 7.”
The START MENU is a good place to, well, start! It is found in the lower left corner of your
screen – just LEFT-CLICK on it once to open it.
Notice the incredible amount of options that are immeditely
presented to the user. Popular programs, like Internet and
Email software are on the left, while folders, files and help
features are on the right.
It is also important to note the “Log Off” and “Turn Off Com-
puter” buttons on the bottom of the menu. Consider these your
“ignition” for the computer. If you want to shut it off, this is
where you go!
By LEFT-CLICKING on “All Programs,” another
menu will spring to life. This is a list of all of the
programs that you have installed on your
computer. Everything that you would ever need to
do with your computer system can be found in the
Start menu. This includes finding help, using
programs, getting on the internet, emailing,
printing, playing videogames, customizing your
desktop, and much more!
Both of these start menus are from windows XP, like the desktops, they are customizable.
Windows Vista and Windows 7 have start menus with a search box for programs, but
otherwise it are very similar!
The Start Menu

Microsoft Windows is capable of running more than one program at once. In other words,
you can write a letter in Microsoft Word, while surfing the Internet while using Microsoft
Excel while checking your email and so on!
This is called “Multi-Tasking” and is a feature of all computer systems.
The question that follows is:
How do I know (and keep track of) all of the programs that are running at once?
The answer is found in the Taskbar, which sits on the bottom of your screen next to the
Start Menu. It looks like this:
Microsoft Windows is called
Windows” for a reason.
Programs appear on your
screen as “windows,” and
are laid 3-dimensionally on
top of one another.

Using the “Filing System” in your Computer
Once you start using the programs on your computer, you can save your work. Each piece
of saved work is called a “file” or a “document.” Just as in real life - you can organize
these files or documents into folders inside your computer.
Think of it as a virtual file cabinet.
Just as some people keep an organized file cabinet in real life, and others
keep a messy one - your computer will reflect your sense of organization.
It is always easier to find things if you organize them well!
Most people keep their files or documents organized in their “My Documents” folder.
It should be located on your desktop, or can be found in your start menu under
the “Documents” option. Once inside “My Documents” - you can either save all
your files or documents in one big pile, or you can make separate folders for
each area (for instance, a folder for family correspondence and one for financial records).
Making Folders in Windows XP
• Double-click “My Documents” on your desktop
• Click on the link on the left side of the screen that says “Make a New Folder” and a new
folder will appear in your window. Don’t click on anything after you click “Make a
New Folder”
• The folder will be ready for a name, so just type in what you want to call it and Press
enter on your keyboard.
Oops - I clicked and it won’t let me name it…
• No worries, just right click on the folder with your mouse and choose the “Rename Option.”
Then just type the name you choose and press enter!
To Put an existing File in your new folder
• Find the file you want to move into a folder
• Right click the icon for that file - use your left mouse button to choose the “Cut” option
• “Navigate to” (computer speak for find) the folder you want to put the file in
• Right click the icon for that folder - use your left mouse button to choose the “Paste”
option
Variation: Click and drag the icon for the file into the new folder. You will see the outline of the file
icon move as you drag it, and you will see the folder turn blue when the file icon is on it. Be sure you
don’t drop into the wrong folder - it can be tricky to find when that happens.
You can also save a file directly to the Folder of your choice! When you work in a program
and choose “Save As” - navigate to the correct folder, name the file, and hit save! Each
program is a little different, so refer to the information you have for the program to see
how to save a document or file.

NOTE: In the same way that there are plenty of car manufacturers, there are also plenty of
companies that produce computers. Like American cars, however, *most* computers fall
into a category called “PC computers.” They are all compatible with each other, and will all
run “PC” software.
HOWEVER, there is also a company called “Apple.” Apple’s computers (sometimes
referred to as “Macs”) are a different breed of computer system. It is the equivalent of
buying a British car – they may look similar, but you will be driving on the opposite side of
the road while sitting in the right seat, so to speak. Both types of computers are good and
work really well. But 90% of the world’s computers are PCs, and they are what you will

Logging Off or Shutting-Down
When you are done with a session, you should always log off a computer or shut it down.
If you are in public, log off! (especially here at the library). If you are at home, then you
can choose whether to log off and let other family members log in with their own accounts,
or shut down completely and save electricity!
In order to turn your computer off, simply locate the “Turn Off Computer” or “Shut
Down” button located in the Start Menu. Left-click on it
once. It will probably bring up a separate box that will ask
you what you want to do - choose Shut Down and click ok.
To Log off, open the Start Menu and locate the “Log Off” Button.
Left-click on it once, and a dialog box will pop up that asks you if you
want to log off, press ok and it is ready for the next person. If the Log Off
button does not appear in the Start Menu, click the “Turn off Computer” or “Shut Down”
button. When the dialog box appears, it will give you the option to “Log Off”. Choose this
and click ok.
At the Library: click “done” on the time box at the top of the screen and then click “end
now” to finish!
If you ever get stuck, help is right around the corner. The HELP feature for
Microsoft Windows is located in the Start Menu and is called “Help and Support”;
all other programs on your computer will also have an individual help feature as
well. They are very user-friendly, and, most likely, have a well-prepared answer to
your question. In addition to this, most programs come ready with 1-800 numbers
to connect with a technician who is readily available to help you on your way.
