Parsl Project

?? New Parsl blog post and upcoming talk by Ben C.! #Python is moving away from fork-without-exec, and Parsl is following suit. This change will affect end users, and Ben discusses how and why in this new blog post titled "Wrapping your workflows in __main__ protection." Additionally, Ben will give a lightning talk that delves further into this topic at our next open community call, which will be held on Tuesday, March 4, at 11 a.m. CST via Zoom. We encourage you to attend the call to learn more about these updates. ?? Read Ben's new blog post here: https://lnkd.in/gG3tmvWv ??

Join us tomorrow, February 18, at 11 a.m. CST via?Zoom?for our next open community call! Logan Ward, computational scientist from Argonne National Laboratory is giving a talk about his work on reordering our user guide and how fellow Parsl users can provide feedback and contribute to this effort. Stop by to learn more, troubleshoot issues, share updates, and connect with the community! The Zoom link will be posted in Slack – join our workspace today: https://lnkd.in/g_8gFqiZ

Our open community calls are a great opportunity for Parsl users to share progress, discuss challenges and issues with the core team, hear about project updates, and provide input on topics and decisions directly affecting Parsl. Stop by our next call tomorrow, Tuesday, February 4, at 11 a.m. CST! The meeting link will be posted in Slack – join our workspace today to gain access: https://lnkd.in/g_8gFqiZ

We're excited to continue on our path toward sustainability by joining the?NumFOCUS?ecosystem as a fiscally sponsored project. NumFOCUS' dedication to promoting?#openscience?and?#opencode?enables us to strengthen our sustainability, governance, and community participation. Learn more about this new partnership from the National Center for Supercomputing Applications: https://lnkd.in/gSxEsyu6

Parsl Project, co-founded by NCSA’s Chief Science Officer Daniel S. Katz, has joined the NumFOCUS community as a fiscally-sponsored project! Since its debut in 2017, Parsl has helped researchers—new & experienced—scale their computing from laptops to large-scale infrastructures with ease. As an open-source library for parallel programming in #Python, Parsl has made powerful supercomputing tools accessible & efficient across research domains. Through NumFOCUS, a nonprofit dedicated to promoting open science & open code, Parsl is well-positioned to strengthen its sustainability, governance & community participation. As Katz shares: "Part of Parsl’s sustainability plan has been to model our project on successful projects, and NumFOCUS projects are some of the key ones for us to follow." Congratulations to the Parsl team! Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/gSxEsyu6 #OpenScience #ResearchComputing #NumFOCUS #Supercomputing #HPC

?? Please join us tomorrow (Dec. 10) at 11 a.m. CST via Zoom for our last open community call of the year! Ben C. will present a talk on “Visualizing Parsl Performance Interactions Using R.” Ben wanted to understand how different performance tweaks for Parsl interact with each other and learn how to use R, so he made an experimental dataset of 15,000 Parsl runs and plotted some graphs. Stop by to connect with the community, share project progress, discuss challenges, troubleshoot issues, and more. We hope to see you there! The Zoom meeting link will be posted in our general Slack channel – join our workspace today to gain access: https://lnkd.in/g_8gFqiZ

OSPREY, an open science platform for robust epidemic analysis that leverages?Globus Compute, a unified interface for securely and reliably accessing remote compute resources using a distributed network of Parsl executors to create a Function as a Service (FaaS) platform, was awarded an HPCwire Editor’s Choice Award for “Best HPC Response to Societal Plight” at #SC24!

Advances in high-throughput genomic technologies have generated vast sequencing data, requiring harmonized processing using consistent bioinformatics algorithms. The Genomic Data Commons (GDC) was established to achieve this, but its pipeline is not inherently scalable or reproducible. This led to the development of a new scalable workflow using Parsl to harmonize local DNA sequencing with GDC data. This optimized workflow, applied to various cancer research projects, balances cost and accuracy while ensuring efficient and reproducible genome analyses. ??
