Pegasus at work on the Grid
http://pegasus.isi.edu
Pegasus supports a wide variety of workflows running on the Grid from various scientific fields ranging from Astrophysics, Astronomy,
High Energy Physics to Earthquake Sciences and Computational Biology.

Black Hole Inspiral Gravitational Waveform
Gravitational Waves from
binary inspiral
LIGO Scientific Collaboration
http://www.ligo.org
Radio observations confirm the existence of binary neutron star systems in the
Galaxy.
In previous science runs, approximately a thousand of shapes or templates
were required;
Increasing complexity with design sensitivity.
Currently searches performed on dedicated Beowulf clusters with ~ 300 CPUs.
Very Compute intensive hence ideal candidate for Grid Computing
Production analysis of S3 data to demonstrate scalability of the inspiral analysis
tools on to a full-scale Grid testbed.

 The workflow description modified to output a VDS DAX.
 The workflow description toolkit developed allows any concrete
workflow description to be migrated onto the LSC Data Grid using
Pegasus.
 The LSC is using the occasion of SC2004 to undertake a
production analysis of data from its third science run (S3) to
search for gravitational waves from binary neutron stars and black
holes.
LSC Testbed
Montage
http://montage.ipac.caltech.edu
 Delivers science grade custom
mosaics on demand
 Produces mosaics from a wide
range of data sources (possibly
in different spectra)
 User-specified parameters of
projection, coordinates, size,
rotation and spatial sampling.
A small montage workflow
The Sword of Orion (M42, Trapezium, Great Nebula). This mosaic was obtained by
running a Montage workflow through Pegasus and executing the concrete workflow
the Teragrid resources.

 SCEC is developing the Southern California Earthquake Center
Community Modeling Environment (SCEC/CME).
 Grid computing have made practical to create fully three-dimensional (3D)
simulations of fault-system dynamics.
 These physics-based simulations can potentially provide enormous
practical benefits for assessing and mitigating earthquake risks through
Seismic Hazard Analysis (SHA).
 The SCEC/CME system is an integrated geophysical simulation modeling
framework that automates the process of selecting, configuring, and
executing models of earthquake systems on the grid via Pegasus.
