The Tera-Gridiron: A Natural Turf for High-Throughput Computing

Teragrid resources are often used when high-performance computing is required. We describe our experiences in using Teragrid resources in a high-throughput manner, generating a significant number of CPU cycles over a long time span. In particular, we discuss using Teragrid resources as part of a larger computational grid to perform computations in an ongoing attempt to solve an open problem in mathematical coding theory—the Football Pool Problem.
