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.
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.
