NSF Renews PRAGMA for Five Year Thanks to the work of all of us

And what is expected of PRAGMA? Validate the investments in cyberinfrastructure One (not to be lost in) translation: Have scientist use the grid to do science!

Savannah Burn: How tightly linked are burning, vegetation, and rainfall? PRAGMA Testbed ran CSIRO climate model called CCAM in combination with Nimrod/G tool set. Executed on a maximum of 90 processors (out of a maximum 159) across 7 PRAGMA grid resources located in Australia, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and the U.S. David Abramson, Amanda Lynch

Validation of Cyberinfrastructure Investments by the Savannah Burn experiment Science Resulted: The hypothesis that burning the Savanna can affect the strength and timing of the monsoon was confirmed. Testbed Exercised: The testbed operated for 170 days, and delivered over 1.25 million processor hours! Importantly, we were able to do a live upgrade of a number of the cyberinfrastructure components during the period. Middleware Improved: Improved Nimrod's ability to schedule computations by incorporating both data location and transport delays. –Allowing it to make a better choice of resources, improving the performance of the system as well as its fault tolerance. –We also enhanced Nimrod's ability to handle faults in the Grid testbed. Policy Impacted: The experiment shipped some 1.6TB of data across national and international networks. This exposed some interesting features of Australias network charging policy, and will lead to lasting improvements.
