Next Monday Oct 28 @ 12pm ET, Kyle Chard will present a Cloud Learning and Skills Session (CLASS), hosted by Internet2, on using Globus with AI/ML to accelerate scientific discovery. Register today: internet2.edu/cloud/cloud-le…

🚀 Exciting news from @UChicago_CS! Kyle Chard , Ian Foster and Ben Blaiszik have received a major grant to expand Globus, the global data management platform empowering researchers worldwide to share and manage large datasets seamlessly. 🌍💾 cs.uchicago.edu/news/uchicago-…

Excited to announce that Matthew Baughman and maxime gonthier will be serving on the Technical Program Committee for #HotCloudPerf 2024! They’re looking forward to contributing to the latest in cloud performance research. Check out the conference details: hotcloudperf.spec.org

Towards Interpreting Language Models: A Case Study in Multi-Hop Reasoning paper: arxiv.org/abs/2411.05037 This method improves multi-hop reasoning in language models by injecting “memories” into key attention heads, increasing accuracy in complex tasks. An open-source tool,

Last week, post-doc Maxime Gonthier presented at the IIT on “Scheduling Under Memory Constraint for Runtime Systems”. To learn more about his proposal for a scheduler for task-based runtimes that improves data locality in an out-of-core setting, see here: iit.edu/events/compute….

Large language models are known to exhibit and amplify toxic content and bias based on their training set. Work by Pettyjohn et. al, which has been accepted at this year's BlackBoxNLP, shows how these biases may be localized and addressed. Learn more here: openreview.net/pdf?id=UznBr4m…

We are excited to announce that Parsl has joined the NumFOCUS family. As we work towards establishing a sustainable Parsl community, NumFOCUS is the ideal foundation for Parsl with a focus on open-source software and scientific computing. Learn more here: numfocus.medium.com/parsl-joins-nu…

An issue with LLM training is duplicated data, which increases training costs and leads to undesirable properties like memorization. A pre-publication by Khan et. al introduces LSHBloom, which effectively combats this duplication problem. Learn more here: arxiv.org/abs/2411.04257

We are looking forward to seeing you at SC24 in Atlanta! Make sure to stop by the Globus booth #3723, and don’t forget check out the posters, workshops, and presentations from our team, listed here: globus.org/events/sc-24

Are you interested in the future o serverless HPC? Join Kyle Chard, Ian Foster, and others at #SC24 for a panel discussion on this important topic.

I am super proud of Jordan Pettyjohn, an undergraduate student I had the privilege of working with this past summer, for winning the Student Research Competition at the SC25 conference! 🏆 His work studied ablation strategies for toxicity in #LLMs.

Globus Labs is leading a new AI+Science NSF REU site hosted by the Data Science Institute and Computer Science Department at UChicago. Apply now for summer 2024: datascience.uchicago.edu/education/summ…

Our recent work on object proxy patterns for accelerating distributed applications has been accepted to IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems (TPDS)! Check out the preprint arxiv.org/abs/2407.01764 and documentation docs.proxystore.dev

Excited to share our work on the open-source BioNeMo Framework, launched at SC 2024 🎉 code: github.com/NVIDIA/bionemo… paper: arxiv.org/abs/2411.10548 docs: docs.nvidia.com/bionemo-framew… SC24 launch: youtu.be/eKzNKxWUeCE?t=…

Our paper "Understanding Protein-DNA Interactions by Paying Attention to Protein and Genomics Foundation Models" was accepted at the NeurIPS 2024 Workshop on Foundation Models for Science. Congrats Dhruva Rajwade! openreview.net/pdf?id=NifnqNd…
