Summary of Changes

Hello @natnesi, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request introduces new documentation for integrating Globus Compute with the Mahuika High-Performance Computing (HPC) system. The added guide provides users with essential information on how to leverage Globus Compute's multi-user endpoints for securely running Python functions remotely, covering setup requirements, available endpoints, practical usage examples, and current system limitations.

Highlights

• New Documentation Page: Introduces a comprehensive guide for 'Globus Compute' on the Mahuika HPC system, detailing its integration and usage.
• Globus Compute Overview: Explains what Globus Compute is, its multi-user endpoint on Mahuika, and defines key concepts such as Endpoints, Multi-user mode, Executors, and Authentication.
• User Requirements: Details the necessary NeSI and Globus accounts, and the process for linking identities to use the service.
• Endpoint Details: Describes two specific endpoints: nesi-login for lightweight tasks and nesi-slurm for resource-intensive jobs, including available configuration options for the nesi-slurm endpoint (e.g., ACCOUNT_ID, WALL_TIME).
• Usage Example: Provides a step-by-step Python example demonstrating how to install the SDK, create a simple script, and run a function on the nesi-slurm endpoint.
• Limitations and Notes: Lists current limitations (e.g., single CPU, Python 3.11 requirement, specific package availability) and other important notes regarding token-based authentication and standard access policies.

Add the benefits to the page

• Job management via API using Globus ecosystem for Auth and data-transfer support
• Run remote jobs which execute where the data reside

=> forked to https://github.com/nesi/RemoteJobManager (this is used by a researcher group at UoA)

[CallumWalley]

@natnesi Can we merge this?

[natnesi]

@CallumWalley I have asked @ChrisZweck to do it. Then yes if he agrees.

[ChrisZweck]

Agreed. Sorry, I assumed an approval meant go ahead for the merge. I'd push the button myself if I could find it.

[CallumWalley]

Are you planning on adding more pages to the Gloubs_Compute category? Or could this be a page instead?

[ChrisZweck]

jmo, but I'd prefer a page instead of a category. Globus compute is quite poorly defined at REANNZ already, it'd be nice to not spread the information out too much.
