This ITR-Medium award supports the deployment of a Grid-enabled LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational wave Observatory) Data Analysis environment. The Grid paradigm has been adopted by the LIGO collaboration to address its computational needs as it prepares to conduct groundbreaking analyses of its first data in the field of gravitational wave astrophysics. The research program addresses issues relating to the authentication and secure access to LIGO's computational resources using the Globus package. It also provides the tools and the infrastructure for distributing and sharing LIGO's large volume of data across the geographically distributed LIGO data analysis resources and community. Finally, it incorporates Grid services to a primarily control-room type data analysis environment called DMT (Data Monitoring Tool) thus making it available to the wider LIGO community as a Grid-based application.This research takes the Grid concept from a prototype stage to real deployment and every day use for a large scientific experiment. This research experience and the products delivered from it will have broad relevance to the overall Grid and Information Technology initiative as well as to on-going work within the GriPhyN and iVDGL Grid development projects. Many of the delivered components will be sufficiently generic to be of use and interest to other large data analysis projects.

该ITR中等奖项支持启用网格的LIGO（激光干涉仪重力波观测站）的数据分析环境。 Ligo合作采用了网格范式，以满足其计算需求，因为它准备在引力波天体物理学领域对其第一个数据进行开创性分析。该研究计划解决了与身份验证有关的问题，并使用Globus软件包安全访问了Ligo的计算资源。它还提供了在地理分布的LIGO数据分析资源和社区中分发和共享Ligo大量数据的工具和基础架构。最后，它将网格服务纳入了一个名为DMT（数据监视工具）的主要控制室类型的数据分析环境，从而使其可作为基于网格的应用程序可用。这项研究将网格概念从原型阶段到实际部署，每天用于大型科学实验。这项研究经验及其从中提供的产品将与整个网格和信息技术计划以及Griphyn和IVDGL网格开发项目中的持续工作具有广泛的相关性。许多交付的组件将足够通用，以便其他大型数据分析项目具有利用和兴趣。
