Web Site Development:
www.phys.utb.edu/griphynFall 2001: E/O coordinator developed the :
GriPhyN Education and Outreach Center• Basic educational material about data grids, information about the physics experiments, general E/O activities etc.• Technical support information: UTB beowulf system, documentation and “how-to” guides for VDT installation and use.
Spring 2003: New undergrad student (Ariel Martinez) to improve the site,REU Student Projects,

UTB students
• Research in LIGO data analysis (LDAS/LAL), grid computing (GriPhyN/iVDGL VDT), and numerical relativity (CACTUS).• Currently administered by 2 undergrad students, Jose’ Zamora and Sean Morriss and a grad student, Santiago Peña.• Fully grid enabled with the VDT, DOE certificates.• Next challenge: Internet2, new 64 nodes cluster • UTB goal: iVDGL/LIGO and Worldgrid testbed at SC2003.

Leveraging existing E/O programs
Examples: • Skyserver talk at SC2002 EOT-PACI meeting• Trillium Newsletter 2002• Now joint E/O telecons
Successful collaborations of E/O coordinator with EOT-PACI (Roscoe Giles & Scott Lathrop), SDSS Skyserver (Jordan Raddick) and PPDG (Ruth Pordes) leaders to link our E/O activities.

New Activities: more students!
Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU): Proposal for a REU supplement from NSF to support 10 to
20 undergraduate students doing grid-related research during semesters or summer at several GriPhyN/iVDGL Institutions. In order to achieve this goal we need to know:» Mentors» Research Projects» Selection Procedures» Budgets
Interested mentoring Institutions: 1. Florida U (Paul Avery), 2. Indiana U (James Williams, John Hicks), 3. Fermilab (Ruth Pordes), 4. Chicago (Ian Foster, Tom Garritano), 5. UW Milwaukee (Bruce Allen), 6. UT Brownsville (Manuela Campanelli).
At least 2 students per Institution!
Spring 2003 goal!
E/O Collaboration Effort!

New Activities: more linux clusters!
• UTB:» A new NASA URC at UTB will give funds for a new 64-node
Linux cluster. More students involved with grid-related research and possible connection with NASA grid effort.
• SKC:» New 32-node Linux iVDGL cluster involving several CS and
Physics professors and undergraduate students. Tim Olson plans to visit UTB in spring 2003.
• HU:» A 4-node iVDGL Linux cluster has been constructed by
several CS and physics undergraduate students. Keith Baker will organize a new E/O meeting in spring 2003.
