鈥淲e truly appreciate this award from the readers and editors of HPCwire鈥�, said Ian Foster, Globus co-inventor. 鈥淔ive years ago we started operating the Globus file transfer service to solve a pressing need for researchers dealing with massive and growing data volumes. This award is a testament to the usefulness of Globus and further affirms the level of support we have seen from researchers at universities, supercomputing centers, and national facilities.鈥�
The coveted annual HPCwire Readers鈥� and Editors鈥� Choice Awards are determined through a nomination and voting process with the global HPCwire community, as well as selections from the HPCwire editors. The awards are an annual feature of the publication, and constitute prestigious recognition from the HPC community. These awards are revealed each year to kick off the annual supercomputing conference, which showcases high performance computing, networking, storage, and data analysis.
"HPCwire readers are among the most informed in the HPC community and these awards are ultimately given to the organizations that are making the greatest impact in advancing technology and humanity itself through high performance computing,鈥� said Tom Tabor, CEO of Tabor Communications, publisher of HPCwire. "The HPCwire Readers鈥� and Editors鈥� Choice Awards send a strong message of support and appreciation from those in the global HPC community. We are proud to be able to recognize these efforts, and our congratulations go out to all the winners.鈥�
Since its launch five years ago at SC10, Globus has evolved from a high-performance file transfer service to enable simplified data sharing, publication, and discovery directly from users鈥� own storage, winning another HPCWire Editor鈥檚 Choice award in 2012. The Globus team continues to enhance the service in response to the research community鈥檚 evolving needs, and is showcasing many new and improved features at SC15 in booth #383.
