1. USQCD regional grid Report to ILDG 14

2. 05/28/09ILDG14, June 5, 20092 US Grid Usage  Growing usage of gauge configurations in ILDG file format.  Fermilab repository contains 26,200 configurations in ILDG format (total MILC and anisotropic clover).  Ensembles accessible to members of the “ILDG” VO (read only) and the “LQCD” VO (read/write).  Many consumers of the US lattices have accounts at Fermilab and access configurations by means other than SRM/grid-ftp.  Demand is growing for grid file transfers among US facilities.  Working with developers at Argonne LCF (Blue Genes) and Open Science Grid to enable grid file transfers.
