[AG-TECH] Nanocruise information

[Mary Fritsch]

Great.  We would love to have you man a nanocruise week.

Basically, SC Global is a major event this year at Supercomputing 2001 
(www.sc2001.org).  It will "happen" through the technology of the Access 
Grid.  Several AG Nodes, called Constellation Sites for this event, are 
coming onboard for the event from all over the world.  It is an exciting 
project.  The current list of sites can be found at:
http://www.mcs.anl.gov/scglobal/constellationsites.htm

We are asking the AG Community and established Constellation Sites to help 
test and troubleshoot their newly built and operating nodes.  This really 
only entails 1 hr, 2 days, 1 week on a Tues/Thurs preferrably and at 9:00am 
-10:00am CDT
We could provide content for you or you can just run the cruise using some 
checklist topics at:
http://www.mcs.anl.gov/scglobal/inventory_for_ag_nodes.htm

After the nanocruise, you would just let me know (via email) what site 
accomplished thorough testing in what area - breakthroughs or 
highlights.  There will be a spreadsheet to help visualize this coming 
soon.  Just a few line summary of how the cruise went if fine.  We simply 
need to work with the sites and troubleshoot any topics they need help with 
to get their node running at top production.  Would you feel comfortable 
with this?  If so, August 14 and 16 could have your name on it :)

Let me know.
