Seemless Utilization of Heterogeneous XSede Resources to Accelerate Processing of a High Value Functional Neuroimaging Dataset

We describe the technical effort used to process a voluminous high value human neuroimaging dataset on the Open Science Grid with opportunistic use of idle HPC resources to boost computing capacity more than 5-fold. With minimal software development effort and no discernable competitive interference with other HPC users, this effort delivered 15,000,000 core hours over 7 months.
