Outline • Three categories of AUS • Update on Operational Activities • AUS.ASTA • AUS.ASP • AUS.ASEOT
Three Categories of AUS • Advanced Support for TeraGrid Applications (AUS.ASTA) • AUS staff work on a particular user’s code (some community codes) • Guided/initiated by the allocations process • Advanced Support for Projects (AUS.ASP) • Project initiated by AUS staff (jointly with users) – impacts many users • Optimally install software, maintain, train users • Advanced Support for EOT (AUS.ASEOT) • Advanced HPC/CI trainings • Participate in workshops, tutorials (TG09, PetaScale, SCXY) • Interaction with other CI programs PlantCI, DataNet etc.
Update on Operational Activities • Bi-weekly telecon among AUS POCs from every RP site • Matching of AUS staff to ASTA projects, discussion about ASP, EOT activities • Program plans, annual reports etc. • Web/Tele-con among AUS technical staff • Biweekly technical tele/web-conference on ASTA and other projects - using readytalk • Since we started (early October, 2008) 17 tele/web-con sessions and 26 technical presentations (including today)
ASTAs about to Start (or continue from Startup) in July 2009 TRAC Total number of active ASTAs ~45 Few more Startups, Supplemental ASTAs in the queue
ASTA Webpage • http://teragrid.org/userinfo/asta.php • Created by Shanil (student in doc group), Diana, Fariba – work in progress
Advanced Support Projects • Three projects ongoing • Benchmarking Molecular Dynamics codes (SDSC, PSC) • Benchmarking Materials Science codes (PSC, TACC, LONI, NCSA, NICS) • Hybrid Programming model for multi-core (TACC, SDSC, PSC, NICS) jointly with XS-WG • Fariba, Diana from doc group helping in setup of AUS benchmark pages
ASP Benchmark Webpage http://staging.teragrid.org/userinfo/aus/benchmark.php
AUS – ASEOT @ TG09 • Tutorials • Preparing Applications Beyond 2010 (Ranger, Kraken) • Performance/Profiling Tools: IPM and POINT • About 8 Science and Tech track presentations by AUS staff • About 6 science talk PIs are receiving ASTA • Keynote PI (Cheatham) is receiving ASTA • US, AUS, XS-WG joint meeting
