AB: The Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) Science Computing Facility (SCF) stores over 50 terabytes of data, has over 240 computer processing hosts, and 64 users from around the world. These resources are spread over three primary geographical locations - the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), Raytheon RIS, and New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (NMT). A need for a grid network system was identified and defined to solve the problem of users competing for finite, and increasingly scarce, MLS SCF computing resources. Using Sun's Grid Engine software, a grid network was successfully created in a development environment that connected the JPL and Raytheon sites, established master and slave hosts, and demonstrated that transfer queues for jobs can work among multiple clusters in the same grid network. This poster will first describe MLS SCF resources and the lessons that were learned in the design and development phase of this project. It will then go on to discuss the test environment and plans for deployment by highlighting benchmarks and user experiences.
