The NIH HPC object store
Date: Jan 9, 2018
Time: 9 am - 1 pm
Instructor: Tim Miller (NIH HPC staff)
Location: Bldg 12A, Rm B51.
Object storage is a relatively new technology used to provide large and
reliable storage systems. Most prominently used by companies such as
Microsoft, Amazon, and Google as the back-end to their Web applications,
object storage is also becoming more popular for scientific computing -
especially in the life sciences. Researchers in genomics, electron
microscopy, and other biological disciplines can make effective use of
this type of storage. This course will introduce users to the concepts
behind object storage and will provide practical examples of how to use
the NIH HPC object storage system from the Biowulf cluster. We will focus
on specific examples and hands-on work with the object store.
