Tutorials
Title: Enabling Secure Data Discoverability
Location: 263 (In person only)
Speakers: Vas Vasiliadis and Brigitte Raumann, University of Chicago, Globus
Time: Sunday, November 14, 1-5 p.m. CST
Description: Major research instruments operating at ever higher resolutions are generating orders of magnitude more data in relatively short timeframes. As a result, the research enterprise is increasingly challenged by what should be mundane tasks: describing data for downstream discovery and making the data accessible (often with appropriate access controls) to the broader research community. The ad hoc methods currently employed place undue burden on scientists and system administrators alike, and it is clear that a more robust, scalable approach is required.
Title: ExaWorks: Developing Robust and Scalable Next Generation Workflows Applications and Systems
Location: Online
Time: Monday, November 15, 2021, 8:00 a.m. - 12 noon CST
Description: This tutorial will present the ExaWorks SDK, and its constituent components: Flux, Parsl, RADICAL-Cybertools (RCT), and Swift/T. These components are widely used highly scalable tools for developing workflow applications.
Birds of Feather (BoF)
Title: Strategies for Managing Storage in Advanced Computing Environments
Location: Online
Leaders: Rachana Ananthakrishnan, Vas Vasiliadis
Time: Wednesday, November 17, 2021, 5:15-6:45 CST (Online)
Description: The storage needs of investigators at research institutions are growing in scale and complexity, driving the rapid evolution of storage environments in advanced computing centers, from "scratch + project space" to a diverse collection of systems spanning multiple storage tiers and deployment options. These changes are placing unprecedented demands on administrators who are forced to make difficult tradeoffs between capacity, access modalities, economics, and operational efficiency. This session will bring together representatives of storage solution providers and research computing professionals from the following universities:to engage in a dialogue on the challenges they face and the strategies they are adopting to address them:
- City University of New York
- Penn State University
- Princeton University
- Purdue University
- University of California, Irvine
- University of Florida
- University of Minnesota
- University of Colorado Boulder

Workshops
WORKS21: 16th Workshop on Workflows in Support of Large-Scale Science
Time: Monday, Novermber 15, 2021, 9 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. CST
Location: Online
- ExaWorks: Workflow for Exascale
- Not All Tasks Are Created Equal: Adaptive Resource Allocation for Heterogeneous Tasks in Dynamic Workflows
- A Community Roadmap for Scientific Workflows Research and Development
DRBSD-7:The 7th International Workshop on Data Analysis and Reduction for Big Scientific Data
Time: Sunday, November 14, 2021, 9 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. CST
Location: 242
Organizers: Scott Klasky, Qing Liu, Ian Foster, Mark Ainsworth
Description: A growing disparity between simulation speeds and I/O rates makes it increasingly infeasible for applications to save all results for analysis. In this new world, applications must increasingly perform online data analysis and reduction, tasks that introduce algorithmic, implementation and programming model challenges that are unfamiliar to many scientists and that have major implications for the design of various elements of exascale systems.
