How to use Accelerated Computing in EGI Federated Cloud

Friday, November 27, 2020 - 10:00 to 11:00

Using GPUs to accelerate computation is demanded by many user communities, especially for applications related to image processing, machine learning and so on. 

Accessing federated clouds in EGI with VMOps Dashboard

Wednesday, November 25, 2020 - 14:00 to 15:00

The VMOps dashboard provides users with a set of graphical interfaces to high-level services, in order to manage Virtual Machines and Virtualized Appliances on federated cloud infrastructures, particularly on the EGI Federated Cloud and community-specific cloud federations.

The EGI Federated Cloud brings together resources from IaaS providers, built around open standards, focusing on the requirements of the scientific community. Rising above the challenge of bringing together distributed platforms, it features a unified authentication and authorization mechanism, a shared image catalogue, centralized monitoring and accounting, and, through the VMOps dashboard, a centralized way of deploying, managing, and accessing VMs and resources. Users are provided at a glance with an overview of the cloud with respect to provider availability based on their current status, and a 4-step wizard to deploy topologies based on the VM images and the VOs each provider supports, thus significantly reducing the burden of searching for the appropriate resources.

ORFEUS EIDA Webinar: Data Access

ORFEUS Webinar no.3 - EIDA Data Access

Chipster - a user-friendly bioinformatics software for analyzing high-throughput data

Friday, November 20, 2020 - 14:00 to 15:00

Chipster is a user-friendly bioinformatics software for analyzing high-throughput data such as RNA-seq and single cell RNA-seq. Chipster provides an easy to use web interface for over 450 analysis tools and a large collection of reference genomes. Chipster allows users to visualize data interactively, and it keeps track of the analysis steps taken. This provenance tracking combined with an easy way to share analysis sessions with other users allows researchers to collaborate efficiently. 

Chipster was developed by CSC – IT Center for Science which also runs a national Chipster server in Finland. The Chipster code base is freely available and many institutes around the world have set up their own Chipster servers. EGI operates a Chipster server which is available for the whole scientific community.

FitSM Foundation Training (EOSC-hub/FREYA/SSHOC Event Co-location)

Thursday, November 19, 2020 - 13:00 to Friday, November 20, 2020 - 14:00

IT Service Management is a discipline that helps provide services with a focus on customer needs and in a professional manner. It is widely used in the commercial and public sectors to manage IT services of all types, but current solutions are very heavyweight with high barriers to entry.

FitSM is an open, lightweight standard for professionally managing services. It brings order and traceability to a complex area and provides simple, practical support in getting started with ITSM. FitSM training and certification provide crucial help in delivering services and improving their management. It provides a common conceptual and process model, sets out straightforward and realistic requirements and links them to supporting materials.

FitSM is the reference framework being used in several EOSC initiatives, among other research infrastructures as well. Through FitSM, the aim is to conduct effective IT service management in the EOSC federated environment and achieving a baseline level of ITSM that can act in support of ‘management interoperability’ in federated environments from EOSC related projects.  

In addition, participants have an opportunity to receive a formal certification backed by certification authority APMG for anyone successfully passing the exam (20 multiple choice questions, 13 required to pass). Both the costs of the training and the exam is covered and offered by the EOSC-hub project for free.

GBIF.ES webinar: Sharing biodiversity data trhough GBIF. An invitation to the business sector

Thursday, November 12, 2020 - 11:30 to 13:00

The GBIF Coordination Unit in Spain organizes the GBIF.ES Webinar: Publication of biodiversity data in GBIF. An invitation to the business sector , which will take place on November 12 at 11:30 (Madrid time), with a duration of 1h 30 ′. During this event it will be announced:

  • the role that GBIF Spain plays in accessing information on biodiversity at the national level;
  • the OpenPSD project whose objective is to encourage the publication of data by the private sector;
  • the benefits of publishing biodiversity data through GBIF;
  • the steps to follow during the process.

This webinar is supported by the Spanish Enterprise and Biodiversity Initiative (Fundación Biodiversidad) and LafargeHolcim Spain , a pioneer company in the publication of data through GBIF.ES and which will share its experience in this field.

The main objective of this event is for Spanish companies to know and include the publication of biodiversity data in GBIF among their Corporate Social Responsibility actions.
