Oklahoma
Supercomputing Symposium 2003
Wednesday September 24 -
Thursday September 25 2003
at the University of Oklahoma
Dr. Joel Snow
Associate Professor of Physics
Langston University
Joel Snow received a doctoral degree from Yale University in 1983 for
research performed at Brookhaven National Laboratory's Alternating
Gradient Synchrotron in Long Island, NY. As a collaborator from the
University of Oklahoma, where he spent the next decade as postdoctoral
research associate and later senior research physicist, Snow
participated in E653, a fixed target experiment at Fermi National
Laboratory's Tevatron in Batavaia, IL and the CLEO experiment at
Cornell's electron-positron storage ring facility. After joining the
faculty of Langston University Snow joined the D-Zero experiment at
the Tevatron and the ATLAS experiment, which will take data at CERN's
Large Hadron Collider in Geneva, Switzerland. Snow is an associate
professor of physics at Langston University and an adjunct associate
professor of physics at the University of Oklahoma.

Talk Abstract
High Energy Physics at OSCER: A User Perspective
A user perspective of the OSCER facility is presented from the
viewpoint of experimental high energy physics (HEP). The University
of Oklahoma/Langston University (OU/LU) group are collaborators in the
D-Zero experiment at Fermilab and the ATLAS experiment at
CERN. Outlined here is why OSCER is important for the computing needs
of those experiments and how it is and will be used. Presented is an
overview of the computing context in operation for those experiments
by the OU/LU group. Problems encountered in the implementation of a
production simulation system on OSCER are discussed. Work proceeding
on several fronts to overcome these problems is briefly described.
