This talk will demonstrate how it is possible to access and use NGS resources using institutional login credentials (via the UK Access Management Federation).
It will describe how the UK's two main e-Science authentication systems are combined to form an easy to use yet robust identity management environment. It will discuss how this mechanism links together with system, project and Virtual Organisation (VO) registration procedures.
The NGS will be hosting a short online seminar series at the beginning of February highlighting the recent developments in the UK for accessing and managing grid resources.
This major research programme, funded by Cancer Research UK, brings together expertise from three departments in the University of Cambridge: Oncology, Engineering, and Physics, also within the medical physics, radiotherapy and clinical groups in Addenbrooke's Hospital.
The purpose of this workshop is to investigate cloud and grid framework software efforts and applications in greater detail, exploring ways in which cloud resources are being used to complement or supplement resources from traditional grids, supercomputing, and local cluster resources for science.
Prospective participants are invited to submit brief abstracts and to request special topics for consideration if so inclined. Topics include:
The Collaborations Workshop gets researchers and software developers working together to solve research problems. If you’re a researcher who wants to make more of software, or a developer who wants to work with researchers, the workshop is the perfect opportunity to meet new collaborators. The Collaborations Workshop will be held on 21-22 March at Queen’s College, Oxford and registration is now open. For more information, visit the Collaborations Workshop website.
The NGS will be hosting a short online seminar series at the beginning of February highlighting the recent developments in the UK for accessing and managing grid resources. The seminars are aimed at interested parties from the grid community and further afield who are interested in access management. The seminars will be broadcast online on Wednesday mornings at 10.30am (GMT) and will last for 30mins with an opportunity for questions. They will also be recorded and be available after the event.
NGS usage stats are available here.
