Lisa C. Childers

Long ago and far away I was a developer for SPSS Inc.

Then I moved to the Mathematics and Computer Science Division of Argonne National Laboratory to work in the Futures Lab. While there I helped found the Access Grid.

Now I work with Ian Foster and others in the Globus Alliance on issues related to distributed systems and Globus Software. Past work includes producing the Globus Toolkit 4.0 release, co-authoring a book on GT4, and talking with users of distributed computing technology to learn more about their requirements. Recent work is focused on Globus Online:

• Some interesting (albeit dated) Globus Online technology interactions
• Half petabyte transfer: 2011 ALCF Winter Workshop
• Multi-user run: 40 concurrent users
• Hub-and-spoke data movement study: 3rd CEDPS Data Challenge
• Relevant paper: Software as a Service for Data Scientists
• A new book: The Resource Provider's Guide to Globus Online
• We won a 2012 R&D 100 Award!
• Over 10 petabytes of user data transferred as of January 22, 2013
