  3. 10. Meeting Users Where They Are: Grounding AI Agents with 'CHTC Help!' MCP
    Dr Andrew Owen (Center for High Throughput Computing)
    6/9/26, 9:40 AM

    The interface between researchers and computing systems is shifting: users are reading documentation even less than before and are instead asking AI agents for answers. That means in order to get users the correct, up-to-date information, we have to make sure the AI agent can as well. We've developed a prototype tool "CHTC Help!" based on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to bridge the gap...

  4. 11. David Swanson Award and Researcher Presentation
    6/9/26, 10:05 AM
  5. 17. Keynote: The Present and the Future of Multi-Messenger Astrophysics
    Dr Michael Coughlin (University of Minnesota)
    6/9/26, 2:00 PM

    With the detection of compact binary coalescences and their electromagnetic counterparts by gravitational-wave detectors, a new era of multi-messenger astronomy has begun. In this talk, I will describe how data science is enabling the gravitational-wave community to make very low-latency detection and parameter estimation possible within the alert system. I will then discuss how current ground...

  7. 6. A Perspective from Smaller Institutions
    Jason Simms (Swarthmore College)
    6/10/26, 9:30 AM
  8. 7. A Statewide Perspective from a REN
    Dr Pierrette Dagg (MERIT)

  9. 3. Climate Policy Modeling with HTCondor
    Ken Judd (Stanford University)
    6/10/26, 1:30 PM

    HTCondor was used to develop DPSOL, a framework for solving dynamic programming problems. It was the foundation for DSICE which merged dynamic and stochastic factors in economics and the climate, and analyzed the social cost of carbon, the cost of a two-degree target and the value of carbon capture and sequestration.

  10. 2. The IceCube CredMon - Going Beyond the Manual to Support Pelican
    David Schultz (University of Wisconsin-Madison)
    6/10/26, 2:00 PM

    If the built-in HTCondor OAuth2 doesn't meet your needs, you can always choose to do your own thing. In this talk, we show how and why IceCube wrote a custom token storer and CredMon to handle OAuth2 token creation and refresh. While custom code allows exactly matching the IceCube workflow, the main defining feature is not having to ask command line users to do an additional web login. Along...

  13. 12. Enabling Large-Scale and Ultra-Large AlphaFold3 Predictions with Distributed High-Throughput Computing
    Daniel (Danny) Morales (UW-Center for High Throughput Computing)
    6/12/26, 10:10 AM

    AlphaFold 3 (AF3) enables atomic-resolution prediction of biomolecular complexes, driving rapidly growing demand across the life sciences. However, its ~750 GB reference database has effectively confined production deployments to systems with shared parallel filesystems, creating a major barrier for scalability. Distributed high-throughput computing (dHTC) platforms offer vast, heterogeneous...
