ANNOUNCING THE OPEN SCIENCE GRID USER SCHOOL 2018!
If you could access hundreds or even thousands of computers for your
scholarly work, what could you do? How could it transform your work?
What discoveries might you make?
We are seeking applicants for the Open Science Grid (OSG) User School
2018, which takes place July 9-13 at the beautiful University of
Wisconsin in Madison. Participants will learn to use high throughput
computing (HTC) to harness vast amounts of computing power for research,
applicable to nearly any field of study (e.g., physics, chemistry,
engineering, life sciences, earth sciences, agricultural and animal
sciences, economics, social sciences, medicine, and more).
For more background:
https://research.cs.wisc.edu/htcondor/htc.html
https://www.opensciencegrid.org/news/research-highlights-list/
Using lectures, discussions, roleplays, and lots of hands-on work with
OSG experts in HTC, participants will learn how HTC systems work, how to
run and manage many jobs and huge datasets, how to implement a realistic
scientific computing workflow, and where to turn for help and more info.
Worried about costs? We pay all basic travel, hotel, and food costs for
applicants who are selected to attend. This is a valuable offer!
Ideal candidates are graduate students whose research involves or could
involve large-scale computing - work that cannot be done on one laptop
or a handful of computers. Also, we accept some post-doctoral students,
faculty, staff, and advanced undergraduates, so make a strong case for
yourself regardless of your current role!
IMPORTANT DATES
Application Period (OPEN NOW): 15 March - 20 April 2018
OSG User School: 9-13 July 2018

Update: Single Sign On for OSG Operations Services
Colleagues,
As most of you know, on February 7, we released our first step in a transition to Single Sign On for OSG Operations Services. These changes have affected the following websites:
https://oim.opensciencegrid.org/
https://ticket.opensciencegrid.org/
https://my.opensciencegrid.org/
Please refrain from using the *.grid.iu.edu addresses, as the sessions are domain-based and we will be using *.opensciencegrid.org moving forward.
We understand that there has been some confusion and growing pains during this change, and we apologize for the inconvenience that this has caused. We are actively working to solve these problems as they come to us. If you do encounter problems, please open a ticket by:
1) Submitting a ticket at https://ticket.opensciencegrid.org/submit/
2) Sending email to help@opensciencegrid.org
One of the most common issues that we are seeing is confusion about whether a user is actually logged in or not. When you approach one of the above-mentioned websites, you may be asked to present a certificate. In the past, this would have logged you in, however, now you are asked for a certificate so that we can pair your existing OIM account to your new CILogon SSO credentials.
To make sure that you are logged in, look at the upper-right corner of the website. If you see your name, you are logged in. If you see “Login,” you will need to click that button, which will take you to CILogon’s SSO interface. You can choose your institution from the list, or if your institution is not listed, you can log in with a Google or Github account. Once you do that, you should be returned to the website and you’ll see your name in the upper-right corner. From there, you should be good to go.
If you encounter problems with this, please open a ticket as stated above.
Again, we understand that this change has caused some confusion and frustration. Please know that we are actively working to make this transition as painless as possible.
