Globus GridFTP Innovation Wins SC25 Test of Time Award
Pioneering research paper recognized for it s lasting impact on high-performance computing
The paper is being honored for its foundational role in high-performance computing (HPC) and its lasting influence on research and practice in the field. The team of researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory includes Ian Foster, director of the Data Science and Learning division and an Argonne Distinguished Fellow and Arthur Holly Compton Distinguished Service Professor of Computer Science at the University of Chicago; Bill Allcock, team lead at the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility (ALCF); and Rajkumar Kettimuthu, senior scientist and group leader in the Data Science and Learning division. The ALCF is a DOE Office of Science user facility.
Globus Receives Multiple Honors in 2024 HPCwire Readers’ and Editors’ Choice Awards
The 21st Annual HPCwire Awards recognize Globus as leader in the global HPC community
Globus has been recognized in the 21st edition of the HPCwire Readers’ Choice Awards, presented at the 2024 International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage, and Analysis (SC24), in Atlanta, Georgia.
UChicago Scientists Receive Grant to Expand Global Data Management Platform, Globus
Dr. Kyle Chard, Dr. Ian Foster and Dr. Ben Blaiszik plan to expand Globus capabilities, and enable researchers to search, index, access, and manage data across multiple, distributed storage locations, from laptops to supercomputers.
The team will be enhancing Globus to provide new search capabilities in the existing Globus platform. This new capability will allow researchers to search for data across multiple locations, and also develop high level capabilities to index these distributed locations to access metadata and content.
HPCwire’s List of 35 HPC Legends
Dr. Ian Foster named in inaugural list of HPCwire 35 Legends
Dr. Ian Foster, has been called the “father of the grid.” Credited for coining the term grid computing (with Carl Kesselman and Steve Tuecke), Foster foresaw a world in which computing is delivered on demand as a service, and virtual organizations link scientists and resources worldwide. These grid computing techniques for data-intensive, multi-institution collaboration have enabled building the protocols that have established today’s ubiquitous cloud computing.
