CLASS Community,

 

I know it’s a bit out there, but Matthew is looking for feedback for a workshop that combines containerized workflows, local and cloud resources, and a bit of API/automation goodness (who can resist Python?).  The link contained within has materials worth looking at if you are in the HTCondor (distributed HTC) space (HTCondor speaks cloud).

 

Regards,

 

Tim.

 

p.s. I think Matthew is considering a K8 angle.

Subject: Pitch for attending the 2023 Autumn HTCondor week

Good afternoon,

 

I am working on a proposal to host the autumn 2023 HTCondor workshop in Manchester UK and am reaching out to a wide variety of groups to gauge interest in the material. Presentations from previous events can be found here <https://research.cs.wisc.edu/htcondor/past_condor_weeks.html>.

Topics of this workshop will include

• Containerized workflows on heterogeneous systems
• Combining local resources with those purchased from external cloud service providers
• A Python API for interacting with the batch system and automating multi-layered workflows
• Expanding resource access to research groups who do not normally work with scalable computing technologies
  
  
  

My hope is to make this meeting welcoming to those in the HPC and Cloud communities as part of a general effort of fostering cross platform learning and collaboration. If anyone is interested in learning more about distributed high-throughput computing (dHTC), please feel free to contact me . Also for those folks who do work on an HTCondor system or related distributed technologies, I would like to hear from you as well.

 

Thanks and best regards
