Globus Enables Experiment-Time Data Analysis
For over a decade, the ALCF and APS, both DOE Office of Science user facilities, have collaborated to build the infrastructure for integrated ALCF-APS research, including work to develop workflow management tools, and enable secure access to on-demand computing. The Globus platform and suite of tools enabled them to achieve their goals.
More than a decade ago, the Kilts Center turned to Globus to provide the secure data access, sharing and distribution platform they needed. Today, it is easy for Kilts Center to share datasets with their many researchers with just a few clicks.
ACDC is the ALCF Community Data Co-op service configured to allow PIs to broadly share their data hosted on Eagle using Globus, by applying simplified interfaces.

It’s just not a big deal to move big data anymore. Now, with Globus our scientists can move data to the right location with just a few clicks. File size is no longer a barrier to productivity
The system is automated so new users get an email when data has been shared with them, and they just go download it – no need for us to worry about setting the right permissions, validating credentials or creating new user accounts.
Data science and learning applications require interactivity, scalability and reproducibility — we need services like Globus authentication built in that streamline rather than complicate the data analysis process.
