Improving the experience for the Magellan user

Tao Ke and Phil Scherer
Seminar

Abstract: Magellan is a research and development effort to establish a nationwide scientific mid-range distributed computing and data analysis testbed. Tao and Phil will discuss the improvements they've accomplished that will enhance the user experience. Tao's discussion will focus on his experience as a new Magellan user and his ability to provide solutions to unknown problems with Eucalyptus, as well as explain the effort to administer accounts on Magellan. Phil will discuss changes and improvements he's made to the Magellan wiki and provide an investigation of the different online forum solutions that compliment the current workflow of the magellan community. General improvements and how Eucalyptus can be integrated into the Argonne userbase system will also be discussed.
