Abstract

The mission of the TeraGrid Quality Assurance (QA) working group is to identify and implement ways in which TeraGrid software components/services and production deployments can be improved to reduce the number of failures requiring operator intervention that are encountered at TeraGrid resource provider sites. The TeraGrid QA group utilized FutureGrid in the below experiments: GRAM 5 scalability testing, and GridFTP 5 testing.
