2. Research: LIGO data analysis (LDAS/LAL) and numerical relativity source simulations (CACTUS) and now grid computing (VDT). Outreach : UTB is classified as a Minority Serving Institution. UTB GriPhyN and iVDGL Tier 3 center Experiments: LIGO ATLAS/CMS SDSS

3. GriPhyN/iVDGL Map Circa 2002-2003 Worldwide Multi-Institutional Collaboration among Computer Science research and data intensive physics Experiments.

4. UTB Linux cluster: Lobizon Lobizon is 96-node Linux cluster used for research in LIGO data analysis, GW source simulation and grid computing. Currently administered by Jose’ Zamora. Grid enabled: Jose’ Zamora, Sean Morris and Santiago Peña.

5. UTB Linux Cluster `Lobizon’ Internet Router Firewall / Router Master Server Matrix Switch DHCP/Image server 96 node cluster (1-24), (1-24) and (1-24), (1-24) Intel Pentium III, 812mhz, 512 RAM, 40Gb The master (Lobizon) is connected to the internet through a firewall. The 96 nodes communicate with the master. PI III (812 mhz), Red-Hat 7.1 linux.

6. The Virtual Data Toolkit (VDT) is a set of software, developed by GriPhyN researchers, for constructing the first global petascale virtual grid for data intensive science. The aim is to unify the view of data in a distributed grid environment. We use Condor to implement high throughput computing on a large, on-site collection of distributively owned computing resources. In order to achieve site to site connectivity, common protocols and security services are applied using Globus. The Virtual Data Toolkit

7. April 2002: we installed the first release of the VDT 1.0 May 2002: we successfully tested VDT locally June 2002: we worked with the VDT team to improve their documentation July 2002: we updated to VDT 1.1.2 (development version) August 2002: visit to Fermilab and Madison to learn about Globus and Condor-g September 2002: we successfully tested Globus on the grid Grid Enabling the Cluster
