For more information about any of the following consulting services that don't have contact details, contact the LC Hotline, and they will direct you to the appropriate person.

Data Management

LC provides users with a variety of powerful and time-conserving ways to access, search, transfer, and archive large-scale scientific data. From custom applications that cater to the specific needs of LC customers to general data management tools useful in any situation, we have you covered.

  • Looking for Data Management Services? See our Green Data Oasis pages for sharing data with external collaborators, or contact the LC Hotline to be directed to the appropriate person.
  • Looking for Data Management Tools? See our Tools page.

Atlassian

Details about the LC Atlassian Suite, including plug-ins, can be found on LC Confluence.

More information about the Atlassian Tool offerings at LLNL can be found at: https://atlassian.llnl.gov

GitLab

GitLab is an all-in-one platform for source control, issue tracking, continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD), and much more. GitLab makes it easy to test your code against LC hardware either as small tests on login nodes or larger runs in the batch system. For more information, log in to see LC's GitLab documentation.

Jupyter

A Jupyter notebook is a web application for creating and sharing documents that contain code, visualizations, and text. It can be used for data science, statistical modeling, machine learning, and much more. JupyterHub is a tool for launching multiple Jupyter notebooks as different users. Changes were made to the default JupyterHub in order to launch Jupyter Notebooks that adhere to LC security policies. That said, only launch notebooks through the LC JupyterHub deployment located at /jupyter, not on your own.

For detailed information, authenticate into: JupyterHub and Jupyter Notebook

Cloud

Cloud may be broadly categorized by "cloud technologies" wherein such technologies can be on-premises (on-prem; i.e., hosted by LC), off-premises (off-prem; i.e., hosted at facility other than LC; e.g., the LANL HPC center), and cloud-proper (what the rest of the world might imagine the cloud to be; e.g., Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, etc.). 

Common ways of working "in the cloud" include connecting to cloud-proper platforms like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Compute Engine. In using cloud services, users typically connect to remote data centers over the internet. One of the benefits of using these platforms is that users can access the infrastructure they need on demand, without needing to maintain hardware and environments that may sit around unused for much of the time.

At LC, we want to keep your data secure in our multi-tenant environment, and we also want to ensure you have access to technologies that are commonly used in the cloud. To this end, we've begun to support on-premises software and services like containers, object storage, database and broker services, and a few workflow tools built atop those services. These services are orchestrated by OpenShift which is built upon Kubernetes.

FIS: File Transfer to iSRD / iSNSI

LC supports one way link (OWL) connections that allow one way transfers from the unclassified (EN, CZ, RZ) to the classified networks (iSNSI, iSRD) at LLNL. Full instructions can be found at: hpc.llnl.gov/documentation/user-guides/using-lc-file-interchange-service-fis

Green Data Oasis

For more information about sharing your data with collaborators, check out our Green Data Oasis pages.

Python Wheelhouse

There is a Python package wheelhouse supported by Ian Lee that lives in /usr/gapps/python/wheelhouse. More information can be found on the Python Wheelhouse at LLNL page on MyConfluence.

Web Content Directories

LC provides web page hosting for CGI based web pages which can be hosted from either the lc.llnl.gov and rzlc.llnl.gov websites. These allow developers to create webpages that more complex than a simple Lorenz Portlet in MyLC.

These web directories can be requested at: lc.llnl.gov/content and are supported by the lorenz-info@llnl.gov team.
