Globus Compute Endpoints

In the mental model of Globus Compute, Endpoints are the remote instance:

  • Globus Compute SDK — i.e., the script a researcher writes to submit functions to …

  • Globus Compute Web Services — the Globus‑provided cloud‑services that authenticate and ferry functions and tasks

  • Globus Compute Endpoint — a site-specific process, typically on a cluster head node, that manages user‑accessible compute resources to run tasks submitted by the SDK
