“ I think we should move!”
Workshop Highlights (con’t)
DOSAR Workshop IX, South Africa, April 6-8, 2010
Discovery of complete skeleton in South African cave (Malapa)determined to be about 2 million years old. It could be “missinglink” in human evolution between Australopithecus and Homo habilis (pictured below). Official announcement expected today.
Possible grid computing application to Paleontology?
Workshop Highlights (con’t)• Grid computing activities in South Africa
– SA-Grid (multi-institutional grid computing)– Joint Research Unit
• Proposed user forum
• Global operations center
• Training (GILDA)
• Grid computing activities in Africa– Sub-Saharan Task Force for grid deployment
• Internet connectivity improvement in AfricaDOSAR Workshop IX, South Africa,
April 6-8, 2010
DOSAR Work in Progress• HA-OSCAR (LTU)
– Possible collaboration with SA
• Virtual and GPGPU computing (LTU & UTA)
– Possible applications to image processing, radiation dose simulations, …
• Tier 3 deployment– MRI proposal funded for Bellarmine U.
• OSG monitoring software development (OU)

Discussion about updating short-term action items:
Current Short-Term Action ItemsAction Items (Short Term) Responsible persons
• Deploy OSG and commence Tier 3 analysis
in all DOSAR sites: (and also support D0 MC)
- Actively participate in computing grid efforts in LHC experiments: Horst, Michael, David, Ji m
• Turn on new LONI_OSG site with storage & local DQ2 Michael
• Write note for setting up D0/ATLAS and CMS computing
site: dosar.org Michael, Horst, Dick
• Create Co-Linux OSG/CMS facility at USA
(and contribute to Co-Linux documentation) Horst,Merrill
• Document the Univ. Of Okla. Co-Linux setup.
Try out at UT-Arlington, other DOSAR institutions Horst, Jae
• Virtual and GPGPU computing Amir, Alden, Box, Dick
• Non-HEP participation in OSG/DOSAR/OSCER Horst+ Henry , Eduardo, Sergio
• Communicate with OSG concerning DOSAR
participation in next large proposal Pat, Horst, Jae, Dick

DOSAR Workshop IX, South Africa, April 6-8, 2010
New Action Items and Goals• Collaborate on improvements to HA-OSCAR – further discussions.• Collaborate on development of grid computing applications to
Paleontology – further discussions.• Collaborate on ATLAS physics analyses (top quark) Dick, Pat, Jim C,
Flera, Ketevi + list, Simon.• Write Lab partnership EPSCoR proposal to continue OSG software
support (OU).• Create WN pool of lab computers at UJ – Stav, Francois• Organize DOSAR Workshop XI in Thailand – Yes and we will do
further research on local participation and encouraging local groups to join DOSAR – Box to make a proposal
• GPGPU Computing collaboration with UTA – (Amir), LTU – (Box) and UJ – (Wimpie Clarke, Andre Nel), NECSA – (Gawie Nothnagel) , group at UCT.
• MoU document for DOSAR-UJ specifying DOSAR mission and projects being worked on.
