Congratulations to our collaborator XENON1T who just observed the rarest decay process ever measured! While this liquid xenon Time Projection Chamber is designed to search for dark matter, its ultra-low background allows the chamber to be sensitive to a large range of rare processes. One of these is the 2 … Read More
Ariella Gladstein at the University of Arizona reconstructed the population history of Ashkenazi Jews, who are Jews historically from Central and Eastern Europe. The Ashkenazi Jews are often used in genetic studies due to their high rates of genetic disorders and complicated population history. However, until now, genetic studies have … Read More
Last week, Open Science Grid held its annual All Hands Meeting, this time hosted by University of Utah. It was a pleasure to meet Pegasus users and see their talks. A big thank you to those projects and presenters, for sharing their experiences and continued use of Pegasus. Here are … Read More
A collaboration that began 16 years ago between computer scientists at the USC Information Sciences Institute (ISI) and members of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) and Virgo projects is opening up a new window onto the nature of the universe. Pegasus, a specialized computer program developed by a … Read More
Dr. Ewa Deelman research contributions for support the efficient execution of scientific applications has been highlighted in the June edition of the IEEE Women in Engineering Magazine (Volume 11, Number 1). The article entitled ‘Super-Efficient Workflows: Deelman is impacting science applications‘ underlines Dr. Deelman’s research career, and in particular her … Read More
The Pegasus team is very happy to hear about the cutting-edge research and development that can help solve some of the challenges associated with drug delivery discovery: “The motions of a tRNA (or transfer RNA) model system can be enhanced when coupled with nanodiamonds, or diamond nanoparticles approximately 5 to … Read More
TACC (Texas Advanced Computing Center) has published a science highlight of the SoyKB project. Pegasus is used to orchestrate the computations running on TACC Wrangler and automatically retrieving and storing data in the CyVerse data store. Also highlighted is how the XSEDE ECSS (Extended Collaborative Support Service) can be used … Read More
Pegasus (est. 2001) has been widely adopted by the computational research community, and its performance and usage data have already demonstrated its ability to empower the scientists to seamlessly run their simulation or data analyses in distributed systems. In this project, we aim to provide empirical data to demonstrate on … Read More
Early this month, the Pegasus team was very excited to hear about LIGO’s incredible discovery: the first detection of gravitational waves from colliding black holes. Since then, LIGO and Pegasus have been featured in several media channels. Below, we summarize some of these publications. Additionally, we provide the link to … Read More
While recently gathering data for the Pegasus Annual Report, we reached out to our collaborators at SCEC to summarize how Pegasus WMS impacted their science in 2015. Some interesting facts about SCEC Cybershake Study 15.4 performed by SCEC in 2015 using Pegasus Calculations were distributed between the NSF Track 1 system NCSA Blue … Read More
