55. Using OSG to enable the development of Simulation based inference for Cosmology

Yuanyuan Zhang (NSF NOIRLab)

6/11/26, 9:00 AM

I will describe how OSG has enabled us to develop a simulation-based inference (SBI) method for cosmology analysis. For this application, we train an SBI model, based on a mixture density network (MDN), to derive posteriors for cosmological parameters from a data vector that describe observations of galaxy clusters in the universe. We use analytic models to generate mocks of the observational...

34. OSG Security Status and The Future

Mark Krenz (Indiana University)

6/11/26, 9:25 AM

This will be a high level overview of the security team's activities on OSG, what we're responsible for, and where we're going. It will provide summary metrics of what we've done, a short overview of the security exercise we've performed for US CMS and US ATLAS, and talk about us preparing for the coming wave of super AI that will discover all the zero days all at once.

19. OrangeGrid Cloud Workers

Peter Pizzimenti

6/11/26, 9:50 AM

OrangeGrid Cloud Workers is the infrastructure that lets Syracuse University's on premises HTCondor cluster overflow into public cloud spot instances when campus capacity runs out. A researcher submits a job the same way they always have, condor_submit my.sub from a campus submit host, and if the job opts in with +WantCloudBurst = "...", it can land on an ephemeral VM running in any public...

47. HTC in the Search for Very High Energy Neutrinos with the Trinity Demonstrator

Lily Sheram (Georgia Institute of Technology)

6/11/26, 10:15 AM

The Trinity Demonstrator is a one square meter imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescope intended to validate the proposed technique for the Trinity Neutrino Observatory and search for high-energy neutrinos. Weakly interacting and chargeless, these elusive particles deliver data directly from their extragalactic sources to Earth. Trinity telescopes use Earth-Skimming, a detection method where a...
