GlobusWorld Tour Workshop
Rosen Center of Advanced Computing is pleased to annouce, in conjunction with GlobusWorld Tour, an all-day Globus workshop. On August 8, from 8:30 AM - 15:00 PM. Those new to Globus will learn about features that support data management throughout the research lifecycle. System administrators will learn about advanced Globus endpoint configurations and have the opportunity to discuss their specific use cases with Globus staff. Developers will learn how the Globus APIs provide intuitive access to authentication, authorization, sharing, transfer, and synchronization capabilities. Companion iPython/Jupyter notebooks will provide application skeletons that you can adapt to realize your own research data portals, science gateways, and other web applications that support research data workflows.
Why Attend?
- Learn how Globus can simplify your data management
- Expand your knowledge of Globus administration
- Experiment with new Globus services
- Learn how you can use Globus services in your research applications
- Exchange ideas with peers on ways to apply Globus capabilities

| Time | Agenda |
|---|---|
| 08:30—09:00 | Check-in |
| 09:00—10:00 | Introduction to Globus |
| \ | We will provide an overview of the Globus platform features, and demonstrate several data management features. Serving as an introductory session suitable for new users, we’ll use the Globus web app to show data transfer and sharing, use of Globus Connect Personal for laptop/desktop access and introduce the use of Globus Command Line Interface for interactive and scripting. This introduction will provide important context for subsequent sessions. |
| 10:00—10:15 | break |
| 10:15—10:45 | Motivating Use Cases at Purdue |
| 10:45—11:30 | Automating Research at Scale |
| \ | We will dive deeper into the Globus automation platform and describe how common instrument-based scenarios may be streamlined. We will examine the various components of a Globus flow that takes data from the point of capture on an instrument through to distribution/publication of resulting products to collaborators. |
| \ | We will start with a simple flow and progressively work through more complex activities that incorporate computation as well as data description, publication and discovery. In the course of assembling these more advanced capabilities we will describe and demonstrate the Globus Compute, Globus Search and Globus Flows services. |
| 11:30—12:15 | Reliable, Remote Computation at Scale |
| \ | The function-as-a-service (FaaS) model is well established in commercial cloud offerings but less so in research computing environments. The Globus Compute service enables remote computing using the FaaS model, but allows users to execute functions on any compute resource where they have access. We will provide an overview of the Globus Compute service, and demonstrate how to install an endpoint and execute a simple function on a remote system. |
| 12:15—13:00 | lunch |
| 13:00—13:30 | Advanced Globus Administration Topics |
| \ | This session will cover topics such as managing multi-DTN endpoints, mapping user identities, using custom domains for data access, and other advanced topics of interest to the audience. |
| 13:30—14:00 | Create and Use an Application Identity |
| 14:00—15:00 | Globus Office Hours |
| \ | (1:1 discussions on specific use cases) |
