Motivations
● Political difficulties sharing hardware
resources
● Support varies from hardware
operation with limited user support to
full 3-tier user support and training.
● How to leverage resources to the
benefit of SURAgrid?

Recurring Presentation
● Sort'a weekly heterogenous
computing seminar – GPU & Xeon
Phi interest group (TESC).
● Science presentations.
● Other things presented via Adobe
Connect.

Some Obvious Problems
● Adobe Connect tends to be listen
only – too much fiddling to enable
two-way communication other than
chat.
● Issues tend to have a local focus –
hardware, software versions and
choices, environment setup, etc.

Share Source Material
● One approach would be to share
source material.
● Modify to fit local conditions.
● Bulk of material, i.e. Fortran, just
carries over.
● At LSU, faculty “own” what they
develop for teaching and training.
● Research staff were in limbo.

Revised OIP Guidance
● Worked with the Office of
Intellectual Property to get
clarification.
● New advice is not to give up
ownership, but share with
appropriate licenses:
● Text: Creative Commons –
Sharealike – Noncommercial – USA
● Software: GNU, BSD, Apache, etc.

Marking the Material
● I think everyone is familiar with
how licenses like the GNU GPL are
applied to software.
● Creative Commons works in a
similar way.

Transport
● The files are reasonably small (in
this case), and could be shipped via
E-mail.
● Place file on system with Moodle
server.
● Example is based on a fresh
Moodle install on a Debian virtual
machine.
