Betten is active in an area of mathematics that uses large-scale computing to produce results. He created a C++ program called Orbiter that can run jobs on the Open Science Grid (OSG) using the OSG Connect service. Orbiter can be used to classify discrete structures from finite geometry like graphs, codes, designs and objects. Recently, Betten used Orbiter on the OSG to run around 130,000 separate jobs in batches of about 10,000 jobs per day. Each job takes around 50 minutes to run, and he has been pleased with the results.
