DOSAR Input to OSG Future Activities

Software
========
OSG MPI testing 
Possible Virtual Machine support with coLinux

Operational Support
===================
Tier2 &Tier3 support for HEP and beyond HEP: help groups bring up 
and maintain their clusters

Community Specific: 
Tier 3 facility support (for both ATLAS and CMS Tier 3’s)
•	Manpower from Horst Severini, Joel Snow, Michael Bryant and Karthik 

Support for Community Specific work and outreach.
coLinux development, etc?

Future capabilities and Capacities
==================================
MPI application submissions to NERSC begun at OU
Similar MPI work under consideration by Iowa State Nuclear Theory Group
