sPHENIX is a new detector at RHIC.

Hi Everyone

 

We are writing to announce two new sPHENIX software services, thanks to the support by Scientific Data & Computing Center (SDCC) at BNL.

 

1. sPHENIX chat via MatterMost: https://chat.sdcc.bnl.gov/sphenix
   

 

Mattermost is an open-source, self-hosted, secure Slack alternative for communication. We have been evaluating using Slack service for sPHENIX, which are particular useful for instance remote discussions, test beams and workfests. However, Slack incur steep cost when accessing chat history. This problem is solved by Mattermost, which is hosted by BNL and we have the ownership of chat data. The 40k messages on the test Slack service will be imported to Mattermost very soon too.

 

Welcome to start using by login with your RCF account at https://chat.sdcc.bnl.gov/sphenix . Welcome to install Mattermost Mobile & Desktop Apps , which can be also used for CERN communications. 

 

 

2. sPHENIX analysis via JupyterLab: https://jupyter.sdcc.bnl.gov/
   

 

JupyterLab is a popular web interface for modern data science. We are glad that both C++ and Python flavors of the sPHENIX software are integrated to the SDCC JupyterLab service. It is useful for the final stage analysis, integrating documentation, code and result plot in a notebook. Example uses are TPC 2019 test beam analysis, as discussed in this tutorial.

 

Welcome to login with your RCF account and start with the tutorial:  https://github.com/sPHENIX-Collaboration/tutorials/tree/master/JupyterLab . First login will include a setup a for two-factor authentication via smartphone.

 

 

Please give a try and let us know there is any suggestion or question.

 

Cheers

 

Jin & Chris

Subject: [Rhic-rcf-l] New Services at the SDCC

 

As we approach the conclusion of 2019 and look forward to the coming year, the SDCC would like to thank you for your cooperation and contributions to the success of our computing mission throughout the past year, and to wish you and your families a joyful holiday season.

We are excited to offer you an opportunity to test some of the new services we will provide to our users, as our facility expands to continue to meet your computing needs:

BNLBox

BNLBox is a cloud storage service that enables BNL users to store their scientific data and documents locally, and makes those files accessible and available from anywhere in the world with internet access. The files stored in BNLBox can be easily shared with other BNLBox users, as well as with external collaborators. You can find more information about using BNLBox here:

https://www.sdcc.bnl.gov/#storage

And you can register for and use the service here:

https://bnlbox.sdcc.bnl.gov

JupyterHub

The SDCC offers multiple JupyterHub instance and back-end combinations for different users and accounts. You can find out about SDCC Jupyter hosting, requirements, and how to get started here:

https://jupyter.sdcc.bnl.gov

Mattermost

Mattermost is an open-source, self-hosted, secure Slack alternative for communication. Mattermost is hosted locally on the BNL site, features unlimited conversation history, and supports TLS encryption using AES-256 with 2048-bit RSA on all data transmissions between client applications and the Mattermost server, along with on-disk data encryption. You can learn about this service and how to start using it here:

https://www.racf.bnl.gov/docs/services/Mattermost

We encourage you to try these new services, and to provide feedback to help us improve them and make them even more useful to you. As always, please contact us if you have any questions or suggestions:

The SDCC team.
