  1. ASCI HPC Linux MeetingSonoma, CA - Nov, 2002 Q1: What was the MOTIVATION for the workshop? Burning issues? • Linux for HPC (ASCI Platforms)? • Can Linux smooth transition to new platforms? • Benefit/Leverage from the OSS Methodology /Community? • Retain Innovation, protect investment? • Identify and fix bugs quickly - enhance cyber security? • Improve management, reduce cost? • Increased public benefit

  2. HPC Linux Meeting Format Two Day Meeting – DOE, Other agencies, Vendors • Day 1 Open to all Participants – Presentations from DOE – requirements and plans • LLNL, LANL, SNL, Office of Science, DOE Assistant General Counsel for Technology Transfer & Intellectual Property, The Lustre File System , ASCI Office • Day 2 – Solo non-disclosure presentations from vendors – Technical presentations, products, roadmaps, feedback on our plans and requirements • HP, Red Hat, Promicro Systems, Unlimited Scale, SGI, Dell, CodeSourcery, RLX, IBM, Intel, Linux Networx, HPTi

  3. Q2: What are 3 significant results or conclusions? • Joint ASCI OASCR OSS Policy (work in progress) • HPC OSS RFI (work in progress) • HPC Linux Official Distribution • Lightweight kernel for compute nodes? • System Test/Certification Facility • Fortran 95/2000 Compiler • App System Perf Analysis Tools • InfiniBand Infrastructure • Security • Debugger • Private Name Spaces/Kernel/Commercialization • Resource Management • VIEWS • Vendors appear to be interested in HPC Linux

  4. Q3: Was there consensus in the conclusions reached? • There is consensus that HPC OSS/Linux should be pursued • ASCI and OASCR are working jointly on OSS policy and RFI • The OSS-sc (Steering Committee) are defining a common Linux environment for Linux clusters • Linux clusters are seeing increased use in capacity computing and in “server” functions (e.g. file systems, rendering)
