Transferring Data from Box

If you have data on Box, you can learn how to transfer it to SCINet resources by watching this instructional video or by following the instructions in the SCINet User Guides.

What is SCINet?

The SCINet initiative is an effort by the USDA Agricultural Research Service (ARS) to grow USDA’s research capacity by providing scientists with access to high-performance computing clusters, high-speed networking for data transfer, and training in scientific computing.

Upcoming Trainings and Events

  • Managing data with Globus

    The SCINet Office will be hosting a webinar on managing data with Globus. We will demonstrate how to:

    • Log in to Globus using your SCINet account.
    • Access directories and files on SCINet systems (supercomputers and long-term storage).
    • Transfer files among SCINet systems and to and from SCINet systems and local storage.
    • Set up recurring data transfers and synchronize local and remote directories.
  • Automate your SCINet pipeline with Snakemake

    Snakemake is a popular workflow management tool that can help organize, document, scale, run, and reproduce your workflows. Snakemake workflows are described via a human-readable, Python-based language, and can be integrated into SCINet high-performance computing (HPC) clusters via Slurm and Conda.

    In this workshop, Aaron Yerke (SCINet/AI-COE fellow) will introduce the basics of a Snakemake workflow and demonstrate how to run it on a SCINet cluster. After attending this workshop, you should be able to integrate Snakemake into your own projects on SCINet HPC clusters.

    • Introduction to Snakemake - Wednesday, June 11, 2-4 PM ET
    • Individual Snakemake assistance - Friday, June 13, 2-4 PM ET
