HPC resources like those at ALCF are increasingly becoming integrated with distributed workloads involving data movement and remote orchestration. In this seminar, I will discuss how ALCF resources can be integrated with distributed workflows with Globus Compute and Globus Flows. I will show how workloads can be triggered remotely on ALCF systems and how data movement can be coupled with computation tasks.
Christine Simpson is an Assistant Computational Scientist in the Data Science group at ALCF, where she focuses on workflows. Her background is in computational astrophysics, and she has worked with hydrodynamical simulations to explore questions in cosmology, galaxy evolution, and interstellar medium studies. Christine received a BA in Mathematics from Wellesley College in 2005 and an MA in Astronomy from Wesleyan University in 2007. She received her PhD in Astronomy from Columbia University in 2014. She then held postdoctoral appointments at the Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies and the University of Chicago before joining ALCF in 2022.
