Description

Workshop Scope and Goals: REDWOOD is a small collaboration of investigators from diverse fields of physical sciences combining their efforts to solve the very difficult challenge of complex workflows on large volumes of data distributed across multiple systems. The collaboration includes the University of Pittsburgh, Carnegie Mellon University, The University of Massachussets (Amherst), Brookhaven National Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and SLAC. Their efforts are set to benefit the ATLAS experiment, the Vera Rubin Observatory, and Fusion experiments at ORNL. Workflow management involves the software infrastructure to manage the processing steps which may include simulation, reconstruction, data analysis, or near real-time acquisition and processing of experimental data. Currently, for example, in ATLAS, over 1 million computational tasks execute concurrently on thousands of compute nodes. The collaboration operates on four tracks: Workflow algorithms, near real-time applications, workflow monitoring, and modeling & simulation of workflow. The geographically dispersed collaboration meets 2-3 times per year to insure sufficient contact between the four subgroups.

Dates: January 20-22 2025. Anย All-Hands meeting during the first two and a half days in Amherst, followed byย a hackathon for junior collaborators on site. There is a PanDA meeting planned for Friday January 23.ย 

Local Organizers: Verena Martinez

External Organizers: Alexei Klimentov,ย Joe Boudreau

Location: UMass, Amherst at the Lederle Graduate Research Tower: link to map

The meeting room is in the 4th floor in room 419b (exit the elevator on the 4th floor and head straight through the double doors and down the hall on the left)

Parking is available at the Campus Garage: link to mapย 

The UMass Hotel is located at the Campus Center: link to map

The Campus center garage is connected to the Campus Center through the lower level. Parking is included in the hotel reservation, in that case please park and then check in at the hotel. If you are not staying at the hotel please note that there are machines available for payment or you can use an app.ย
