My research interests are in the area of large-scale scientific computing: specifically, issues related to meta-scheduling, data management, and resource discovery. I am currently leading the Swarm project which provisions a meta-scheduling framework that leverages Condor and Globus technologies to harness traditional Condor and Grid clusters. It is not unusual for these high-throughput jobs to run for several days at a time. Swarm is currently deployed in a sequencing application developed by the Center for Genomics and Bioinformatics at Indiana University.

I am currently working on the Polar Grid and Tera Grid projects. The Polar Grid aims to understand the impact of rising sea levels due to melting polar ice-sheets and how they relate to global climate change. The Tera Grid attempts to aggregate resources at 11 other institutions to create an integrated, persistent computational resource.

Tera Grid (Aug 07 – present)

This open scientific discovery infrastructure combines resources at eleven partner sites to create an integrated, persistent computational resource. Using high-performance network connections, the TeraGrid integrates high-performance computers, data resources and tools.

As part of my work on this project, I have designed the Swarm system. Swarm provisions a meta-scheduling framework that leverages Condor and Globus technologies to harness traditional Condor and Grid clusters. It is not unusual for these high-throughput jobs to run for several days at a time. Swarm is currently deployed in a sequencing application developed by the Center for Genomics and Bioinformatics at Indiana University.

Polar Grid (Aug 07 – present)

The NSF-funded Polar Grid project aims to understand the impact of rising sea levels and how they relate to global climate change. As part of this effort we are building science gateways that support data collection, examination and analysis for ice sheet research that would help scientists. My ongoing research activities in this project are in the area of data management encompassing issues related to metadata and storage.
