The workflow description modified to output a VDS DAX.

1. Pegasus at work on the Grid http://pegasus.isi.edu Pegasus supports a wide variety of workflows running on the Grid from various scientific fields ranging from Astrophysics, Astronomy, High Energy Physics to Earthquake Sciences and Computational Biology. LIGO Scientific Collaborationhttp://www.ligo.org • Radio observations confirm the existence of binary neutron star systems in the Galaxy. • In previous science runs, approximately a thousand of shapes or templates were required; • Increasing complexity with design sensitivity. • Currently searches performed on dedicated Beowulf clusters with ~ 300 CPUs. • Very Compute intensive hence ideal candidate for Grid Computing • Production analysis of S3 data to demonstrate scalability of the inspiral analysis tools on to a full-scale Grid testbed. Black Hole Inspiral Gravitational Waveform Gravitational Waves from binary inspiral Binary black hole inspiral (artist rendering) • The workflow description modified to output a VDS DAX. • The workflow description toolkit developed allows any concrete workflow description to be migrated onto the LSC Data Grid using Pegasus. • The LSC is using the occasion of SC2004 to undertake a production analysis of data from its third science run (S3) to search for gravitational waves from binary neutron stars and black holes. LSC Testbed Montagehttp://montage.ipac.caltech.edu • Delivers science grade custom mosaics on demand • Produces mosaics from a wide range of data sources (possibly in different spectra) • User-specified parameters of projection, coordinates, size, rotation and spatial sampling. A small montage workflow The Sword of Orion (M42, Trapezium, Great Nebula). This mosaic was obtained by running a Montage workflow through Pegasus and executing the concrete workflow the Teragrid resources. Southern California Earthquake Centerhttp://www.scec.org • SCEC is developing theSouthern California Earthquake Center Community Modeling Environment (SCEC/CME). • Grid computing have made practical to create fully three-dimensional (3D) simulations of fault-system dynamics. • These physics-based simulations can potentially provide enormous practical benefits for assessing and mitigating earthquake risks through Seismic Hazard Analysis (SHA). • The SCEC/CME system is an integrated geophysical simulation modeling framework that automates the process of selecting, configuring, and executing models of earthquake systems on the grid via Pegasus.
