• The one grid node we have access to has 512-1024 CPUs.
  • Bottleneck is transferring data to the grid nodes to compute things on (I/O-bound)
  • Grid storage might not be tenable.
  • Model needs to be updated for the analysis time estimator
• Grid reliability issues
  • Credential issues.

LIGO

• 1 August deadline

  • Complete by 1 August, test over next week and deploy on 7 Aug?
• Redesign in progress, rollovers are up on www13, CSS cleanup in progress.
• Mihael is testing Bluestone-on-SWIFT
  • Present Bluestone plots don't really need the power of the grid
• How does a kid classify LIGO events?
  • Correlate with USGS data?
  • Eventually students would get a feel for data
• Provide tools to identify and triangulate events? Plot a heading. Google Earth/Google Maps integration?

• LIGO community pages in the wiki are showing the wrong skin.
• LIGO community needs to be self-contained (not showing Cosmic)
• May have some PHP/JSP integration issues
• Re-running Bluestone analyses would take some good amount of work.
• Show students what an earthquake event might look like?
  • Or have students find things and then explore?
  • Teacher might want to show what one looks like.
