The XSEDE science gateways team is hosting a webinar by Stu Martin and Eric Blau on integrating Globus file transfer capabilities into the GridChem (aka SEAGrid) science gateway.
This presentation and demo will detail the design and implementation changes made to the GridChem gateway to integrate Globus transfer and sharing on SDSC's Comet compute resource. This new capability, available to all gateways, enables a gateway's users to transfer files between the gateway's community account on participating XSEDE compute resources and other Globus endpoints, like a user's laptop.
The Operating Innovative Networks (OIN) workshop series is designed to equip university and laboratory network engineers with the knowledge and training needed to build next-gen campus networks that are optimized for data-intensive science. We collaborate closely with ESnet and other workshop organizers to educate research computing resource providers on running and optimizing Globus in the Science DMZ.
Vas will present a tutorial that includes the following topics:

Globus Provider plan subscribers now have direct access to usage reports for their managed endpoints via the Globus web interface (previously, subscribers had to request usage data from the Globus support team). If you're a subscription manager for your institution, you can navigate to the globususage#reports endpoint and download the usage reports*. You will see a directory named for your institution's domain, e.g.uchicago.edu.
The Globus command line interface, or CLI, provides access to the Globus service via a restricted command shell. We continue to streamline the Globus CLI, and will be making changes in an upcoming release to better align the CLI as a tool for interactive and simple scripting use.
The following changes will be made to the CLI in the upcoming release:
We continue to build out premium capabilities for administering endpoints. The management console, which is now in production, was recently updated with features that allow endpoint administrators to cancel or pause tasks on their endpoints.
The Technology Exchange convenes U.S. and global technology leaders and visionaries in the fields of networking, security, trust and identity, virtualization, cloud services, high-performance computing, and storage to exchange technical ideas and knowledge. We are excited to continue our multi-year participation at the Tech Exchange and invite you to attend our presentation described below.
The RMACC HPC Symposium is the annual gathering of collaborating academic and research institutions located throughout the intermountain states to discuss the latest developments and best practices in high-performance research and campus computing. This is the fourth year we are supporting the symposium and, as always, look forward to engaging with new and prospective Globus users, and catching up with those who already use Globus for research data management.
The winner of our 100PB contest is Todd Raeker from the University of Michigan. Todd came closest in predicting the date and time at which Globus would pass the 100PB mark. We passed 100PB at 3:36:14pm CDT on June 26, 2015. Todd's prediction: 11:11:11pm CDT on July 4, 2015. Congratulations, Todd!
Last week we passed a pretty cool milestone for the Globus service: 100 petabytes of data moved! Even in this age of "big data", 100PB is a big number. How big, you ask? Well, 100PB is roughly...
...twice the entire written works of mankind, from the beginning of history, in all languages,
...1,000 times all of Twitter,
...8.88 million hours of HD video,
...21,276,596 DVDs,
...50 times all the material in US academic libraries,
...5 times the entire production of disk drives in 1995 (yeah, that's a pretty obscure one).
