XSEDE Cyberinfrastructure Integration (XCI) Updates
Some research projects—particularly those with team members at multiple campuses—need to maintain copies of the project's data on a campus system and on an XSEDE system. Keeping these copies synchronized is important, but it shouldn't be time-consuming for researchers. A new feature of XSEDE's Globus data management service, "Timers," makes synchronizing research data easy. Researchers can now create a timer task in Globus to run a synchronization transfer (synchronization transfers only transfers files that are newer or different on the source) at a frequency you specify. You can set up unidirectional or bidirectional synchronization, and you can configure an end date or a maximum number of synchronization runs. With this new feature, you can keep copies of your project's data—on XSEDE and one or more campuses—up-to-date as your team adds to or updates the data. XSEDE's description of this feature and instructions for use with XSEDE are on the Data Management page in the XSEDE User Portal. (Look under "Data Synchronization" at the end of the page for details.)

StonyBrook University’s Oookami system, as well as Texas A&M’s FASTER system, are continuing work to integrate into the XSEDE ecosystem and are expected to begin accepting early user allocations in mid to late spring.

Cyberinfrastructure Resource Integration has made some staffing changes. Joining the team from Indiana University are Suresh Marru and Dimuthu Upeksha, who are working on hardening the Virtual Cluster and supporting toolkits. The team continues to work with campuses implementing best practices from XSEDE SPs in local cyberinfrastructure efforts.

Mini Gateways 2022 Call for Community Participation
Mini Gateways 2022 will be online April 5-7. The mini conference is planned as a free opportunity to learn about technologies and communities and to build connections for today and tomorrow.

The conference invites the submission of abstracts (500 words) related to science gateways. All contributions will be subject to standard peer review on quality and relevance, which will decide acceptance of a lightning talk, panel, or tutorial. Open forum topic abstracts are limited to 200 words. All submissions due March 7, 2022.
