My apologies - here is some additional information that was not included in yesterday's message: 

* More background on the Globus/Science DMZ Tutorial - http://goo.gl/N0nDMg

* More info on SC13 registration pricing  -  http://goo.gl/DH68Le

Additionally, ESnet's Jason Zurawski will be leading a full-day Tutorial on perfSONAR at SC13, details are below.

SC13 Tutorial:  Improving Network Performance with perfSONAR - Register Now!

Target audience: HPC center management and HPC center IT staff 

Date: Monday, November 18, 2013, 8:30am-5pm

More info:  http://goo.gl/gSwkBG

Please join ESnet at SC13 for a day-long, hands-on tutorial that will teach HPC management and IT staff the tools they need to build and actively monitor their networks to support data-intensive science.

The tutorial will provide presentation material and hands-on exercises in building and deploying:

* The Science DMZ model - a set of design patterns for network equipment, configuration and security policy for high-performance scientific infrastructure.

* The pS Performance Toolkit - a component based approach to network monitoring that federates with a widely deployed infrastructure on networks around the world to deliver end to end network measurements

 

Tutorial participants will be introduced to the concept of the Science DMZ, performance expectations through the use of protocols such as TCP, and deployment and configuration strategies for the perfSONAR tools.  

Presenters include:

Jason Zurawski, Science Engagement Engineer, ESnet

SC13 Tutorial: Scalable Data Management Strategies and Tools for HPC Facilities - Still Time to Register!

Target audience: HPC center management and HPC center IT staff
Date: Sunday, November 17, 2013, 8:30am-5pm

Please join Globus and ESnet at SC13 for a day-long, hands-on tutorial specially designed for HPC management and IT staff looking for solutions to handling emerging data transfer, sharing, management and mobility issues.

The tutorial brings together two powerful approaches for moving data faster and easier:
• Globus Online is software-as-a-service for moving, syncing, and sharing large data sets.
• The Science DMZ model is a set of design patterns for network equipment, configuration and security policy for high-performance scientific infrastructure.

Increasingly, computing centers are deploying Globus Online in a network environment built on the Science DMZ model, resulting in more user-friendly tools and an optimally configured infrastructure that increases productivity and reduces support costs.

Tutorial participants will be introduced to Globus and the Science DMZ, and will learn how to deploy and manage these systems. The tutorial will also present two case studies from national supercomputing centers (NERSC and NCSA) to illustrate the challenges and solutions for delivering scalable research data management (RDM) solutions.

Presenters include:
Steve Tuecke, Deputy Director of the Computation Institute and Globus Project Co-Lead
Raj Kettimuthu - Principal Software Development Specialist, Argonne National Laboratory
Vas Vasiliadis - Director, Product, Communications and Development, Computation Institute
Eli Dart, Network Engineer, ESnet
David Skinner, Outreach, Software, and Programming Group Lead, National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC)
Jason Alt, Senior Software Engineer at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA).
