  description: |
    The OSPool is a very large, very dynamic, heterogenous high throughput system composed of execute
    points from dozens of campuses all over the United States. Sometimes, something will go wrong
    at one of these many sites, or one network, or one storage point, and it is difficult to determine
    where the problem is. This project proposed the design and construction of a “Grid Exerciser”,
    which consists of intentionally sending sample jobs to targetted locations on the OSPool to verify
    correct operation and sufficient performance.  The project will also have a reporting and
    visualization component so that the voluminous results can be understood by a human in a
    concise manner.
