TUTORIAL: XSEDE/Genesis II – From the Global Federated File System to Running Jobs
ABSTRACT: XSEDE introduces a new approach to satisfying user needs. The approach combines an emphasis on interoperability and standards as a means to reduce risk and provide a diversity of software sources, inclusion of campus and research group resources as first-class members of XSEDE, as well as particular attention to non-functional quality attributes such as ease-of-use and availability. This tutorial introduces students to using XSEDE access layer tools and sharing capabilities such as the Global Federated File System (GFFS), the XSEDE queue, and the XSEDE client user interfaces.
