•FPGA– Condor updates installed and tested. 4 FPGAs can be
scheduled through Condor now. – Working with DAC users– Will run new benchmark using BLAST using all 4 FPGAs
•A small cloud– Created a Nimbus cloud on a small test cluster, Wispy – Working with Kate (ANL) using it as a test case– Nimbus allows a user with known grid certificates to
transfer a VM image into Wispy and request a number of instances to be run.
– Also testing the Eucalyptus software stack from UC Santa Barbara, which aims to provide a public implementation of Amazon's Elastic Cloud product.

Supporting GatewaysSupporting Gateways•Climate Model portal
– Migration of the CCSM portal to run jobs on Steele cluster– Integrated with CCSM community user account. – In testing phase (by CE users, evaluating needs from EAS
class)
•PTO Satellite data portal– Beta version of PRESTIGE was released in September
http://www.purdue.teragrid.org/prestige
– Support data discovery, subscription, dissemination, and visualization
– User centric – user can customize the data processing algorithm, dynamically control the production of custom data products, and timely access the data of interest.
– Scalable to meet user’s dynamic needs– Presented at CEOS/WGISS in September

Data & VisualizationData & Visualization
•NEXRAD Radar 3D Visualization – LiveRadar3D– Paper will be presented at GCE08 workshop– Updated our Local Data Manager (LDM) software to
to receive the new SuperRes data– Updating software to process the new data and
provide additional features in the visualization application
– Supporting various interfaces• Desktop application with maximum interactivity with near real-time data
• Interactive radar vis anywhere via VNC embedded in a browser
• Google gadget for broad dissemination• Web services/library API for data access
– Will be deployed to scale to support #users
