Enabling Innovative Analysis on Heterogeneous Clusters through HTCdaskgateway
Event:
SciPy 2025

Description
High energy particle (HEP) physics research is going through fundamental changes as we move to collect larger amounts of data from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Analysis facilities and distributed computing, through HTCs, have come together to create the next pythonic generation of analysis by utilizing htcdaskgateway, a Dask gateway extension, allowing users to spawn workers compatible with both their analysis and heterogeneous clusters in line with authentication requirements. This is enabling physicists to engage with scientific python in ways they had not before because of domain specific C++ tools. An example of htcdaskgateway’s use is Fermilab’s Elastic Analysis Facility.
