What’s ending in PY5and what’s staying the same • Work at Caltech and RENCI concludes in PY5 • Move by TeraGrid to reduce the cost of subcontracts for sites with more smaller FTE budgets • Development attribute-based authentication work concludes in the gateway area in PY5 • The return of Nancy and Stu to coordinate the program TeraGrid Quarterly, September 24-25, 2009

  7. New in the Extension • Helpdesk support expanded • From .2 FTE in PY5 to 1.7 in Extension [NCSA, Purdue] • Helpdesk and Condor support, new GIS communities, SimpleGrid extensions • Accounting • Improved views for gateways now that we have attributes [TACC] • Community accounts • Continued work toward improved standardization [NICS] • Prebuilt VMs with gateway software • OGCE, SimpleGrid [IU, NCSA] • Online tutorials with CI Tutor and the EOT team • OGCE, SimpleGrid [IU, NCSA] • More example-based documentation • Less talk, more action, short videos, based on user feedback [NCSA, SDSC] TeraGrid Quarterly, September 24-25, 2009

  8. Targeted Support in the ExtensionAll staff available for assignments as new projects come in • Cactus • Meet the needs of several groups with large TG allocations [LONI] • GridChem, PolarGrid, Ultrascan • Scheduling, vis, Matlab processing, processing of centrifuge data for large international project [IU] • CCSM-ESG • Continuing work to combine capabilities [NCAR, Purdue] • New earth science gateway [NCAR] • SNS [ORNL] • Improved web service support [SDSC] • Continued OpenSocial work [U Chicago] • Improved use of remote vis resources by gateways [ORNL] TeraGrid Quarterly, September 24-25, 2009

  9. Where did the new FTEs go? • Recall 2 were committed and 3.5 remained to be assigned • IU, LONI, NCAR, SDSC, TACC up by .5 • Purdue up 1.0 • U Chicago up .2 – Globus gadget work • NCSA staffing reoriented from attributes to help desk TeraGrid Quarterly, September 24-25, 2009
