  1. Education and Outreach An Overview on GriPhyN and iVDGL Outreach Manuela Campanelli The University of Texas at Brownsville http://www.phys.utb.edu/griphyn/ outreach@ivdgl.utb.edu LSC Member Institution (UT Brownsville)

  2. E/O mission in GriPhyN/iVDGL • Integrated effort to communicate the ideas of the computational • and data grids to a diverse community of faculty and students (at all • levels) as well as the public at large. • Direct participation of minority serving institutions (MSI) into grid related research via the inclusion of Tier 3 centers. LSC Member Institution (UT Brownsville)

  3. Tier1 Tier2 Tier3 GriPhyN/iVDGL Tier 3 Centers: where we are … SKC Boston U Wisconsin Michigan PSU BNL Fermilab LBL Argonne J. Hopkins NCSA Indiana Hampton Caltech Oklahoma Vanderbilt UCSD/SDSC FSU Arlington UF FIU Brownsville LSC Member Institution (UT Brownsville)

  4. Manuela Campanelli (E/O coordinator) Joe Romano (GriPhyN investigator) Sean Morris (undergrad student) Jose’ Zamora (undergrad student) Santiago Pena (grad student) Keith Baker (iVDGL deputy) Ken Cecire (QuarkNet) Howard Brown (undergrad student) Tim Olson (iVDGL investigator) Misty Cordier, Scott Dupuis 2 undergrad students UT Brownsville: Hispanic College and University 9000 students (90% Hispanic American) LSC institution (LIGO research) NASA-URC Center Hampton University: Historically Black College and University 6000 students (mostly African American) QuarkNet and ATLAS/COSM Center Salish Kootenai College: Tribal College 2000 students (80% native American) LSC institution (LIGO research) GriPhyN/iVDGL Tier 3 Centers: who we are … Meet together regularly via telecons etc LSC Member Institution (UT Brownsville)

  5. www.phys.utb.edu/griphyn • 2001-2002: • E/O coordinator developed the : • GriPhyN Education and Outreach Center • Basic educational material about data grids, information about the physics experiments, general E/O activities etc. • Technical support information: UTB beowulf system, documentation and “how-to” guides for VDT installation and use. • 2003: • New undergrad student (Ariel Martinez) to improve the site, • REU Student Projects, Web Site Development: UTB Fall 2001 LSC Member Institution (UT Brownsville)

  6. GriPhyN/iVDGL E/O Meetings UTB Spring 2002: first E/O meeting! HU Spring 2003: next E/O meeting … LSC Member Institution (UT Brownsville)

  7. design, construction, and administration of 96 node Linux cluster. • installation and documentation of VDT, Worldgrid, DOE certificates. • LIGO data analysis software • iVDGL summer 2002 trips, SC2002 student volunteer program, Newsletter 2002 help • ongoing Worldgrid demo! Next challenges: • new 64 nodes cluster, Internet2. • Worldgrid demos and iVDGL/LIGO tested at SC2003. • iVDGL summer 2003 trips, SC2003 UTB students participation … Jose’ Zamora and Sean Morriss(undergrad), Santiago Peña (grad): UTB Summer 2002 LSC Member Institution (UT Brownsville)

  8. UTB Linux cluster `Lobizon’ www.phys.utb.edu/beowulf UTB Fall 2001 … Internet Router Warp.utb.edu (Firewall router) Lobizon.utb.edu (Server / Master) Matrix Switch DHCP/Image server 96 node cluster (1-24), (1-24) and (1-24), (1-24) Intel Pentium III, 812mhz, 512 RAM, 40Gb LSC Member Institution (UT Brownsville)

  9. Getting all Tier 3 Centers in the grid … • UTB: • Experience in clustering and grid software (VDT, Worldgrid etc) installation and demos. Coordinate activities and provide help to all Tier 3 centers. NASA URC funds to construct a new 64-node Linux cluster, more student support. • HU: • A 4-node Linux cluster has been constructed by undergrad students. Ongoing Worldgrid installation. Organize a new E/O meeting in spring 2003 with participation of COSM center and iVDGL Tier 3 students. • SKC: • Started the design and contruction of a 32-node Linux cluster involving several faculty and undergrad students. Tim Olson plans to visit UTB in spring 2003 to learn about clustering and grid software. LSC Member Institution (UT Brownsville)

  10. Increasing the participation of students Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU): Proposal for a REU supplement from NSF to support 10 to 20 undergraduate students doing grid-related research during semesters or summer at several GriPhyN/iVDGL Institutions. In order to achieve this goal we need to know: • Mentors • Research Projects • Selection Procedures • Budgets E/O Collaboration Effort! • Interested mentoring Institutions: • Florida U (Paul Avery), • Indiana U (James Williams, John Hicks), • Fermilab (Ruth Pordes), • Chicago (Ian Foster, Tom Garritano), • UW Milwaukee (Bruce Allen), • UT Brownsville (Manuela Campanelli). At least 2 students per Institution! Spring 2003 goal! LSC Member Institution (UT Brownsville)

  11. Collaboration with other E/O programs Year 2002 … Successful collaboration with EOT-PACI (Scott Lathrop),SDSS Skyserver (Jordan Raddick) and PPDG (Ruth Pordes) to link our E/O activities. • Examples: • Skyserver Classes at SCK • Skyserver talk at SC2002 EOT PACI meeting • Trillium Newsletter 2002 • Regular telecom, mailing and E/O meeting Year 2003 … • Continue collaboration with PPDG, EOT-PACI, Skyserver…etc • Start collaboration QuarkNet (HU) LSC Member Institution (UT Brownsville)

  12. Newsletter 2002 SC 2002 Trillium Collaboration GriPhyN/PPDG/iVDGL E/O effort LSC Member Institution (UT Brownsville)

  13. Summary 2002-2003 • Tier 3 Centers: meet regularly together (mailing list, telecom), Linux cluster design and construction, grid software installation and Worldgrid demos ongoing … • Continue E/O web page development … • Organization of E/O workshops: UTB 2002, HU 2003 etc • Collaborating with other E/O programs: EOT-PACI, Skyserver, PPDG and QuarkNet etc • Yearly Trillium Newsletter to reach public at large … • Direct student participation in clustering and grid software activities, summer trips in iVDGL, meetings and conferences (SC, APS, EO), REU etc LSC Member Institution (UT Brownsville)
