The OSG promotes discovery and collaboration in data-intensive research by providing a computing facility and services that integrate distributed, reliable, and shared resources to support computation at all scales. OSG Consortium members contribute effort and resources to the common infrastructure, with the goal of giving scientists from many fields access to shared resources worldwide.
As of June 2008, a team at U Wisconsin, which leads OSG software integration, packaging and deployment efforts and has built all OSG releases, released OSG 1.0, which collects and disseminates job statistics to provide a clear picture of real-time operation, and site-specific parameters and restrictions, to help users make decisions about where to send jobs. It also enhances the efficiency of the “matchmaking software” that matches jobs to resources and automatically moves failed jobs to other sites in order to keep work flowing.
