SGCI Webinar Series
SGCI hosts a free webinar series on the second Wednesday of each month at 1 pm Eastern/10 am Pacific time.
Portable, Scalable Computation with Containers and Abaco Functions
In this webinar, we will discuss the primary concepts of FaaS and introduce the Abaco API platform, hosted at the Texas Advanced Computing Center. Abaco (Actor Based Containers) is an NSF-funded project to provide a Functions-as-a-Service platform based on Docker containers and the Actor Model of Concurrent Computation to researchers. After an introduction, we’ll walk through an example of packaging, deploying, and scaling a Tensorflow image classifier on the Abaco cloud. Some prior familiarity with Docker and HTTP/Rest APIs would be helpful, though not strictly required.
Video and slides from previous webinars are available in our webinar archive.

SGCI helped build Ecology Plus with customized areas for career development
SGCI's Extended Developer Support (EDS) consultants worked with Teresa Mourad of the Ecological Society of America (ESA) to build a new gateway called EcologyPlus on the HUBzero platform. EcologyPlus offers students and recent graduates from underrepresented minority groups with year-round mentoring and career resources. About the experience of working with EDS, she says, "We are very grateful for this EDS support without which this project may not have gotten off the ground."
