Douglas Mawson Institute of Technology - Cluster Server Initiative -
- Introduction - • Douglas Mawson Institute of Technology is an educational leader in applied design and technology. • With these ideals in place we have undertaken a project to show to the IT community that DMIT is proactive in its approach to student education. • By entering the Top500 supercomputer listing DMIT would demonstrate its dedication to achieving the high standards it sets.
- Project Team - • Senior Lecturer – Rob Cook • Project Management • Jurgen Klus • Matthew Murton
- Project Team - • Project Team Leader • Glenn Higgins • Assistant • Adam Sandow
Project Stage 1 prototyping
- Development of Stage 1 - • Requirements • Definition • Design • Implementation • System test • Prototyping • Negotiate Stage 2
- Project Deliverables - • Produce documentation detailing the installation and implementation of a four-node cluster • To demonstrate the feasibility of successfully establishing a OSCAR four-node cluster using Compaq EVO PC’s
- Cluster Software - Top 500 poll results: • Oscar 23% • Score 15% • Scyld 12% • MSC.Linux 12% • NPACI Rocks 8% • SCE 6% • Other 24%
- OSCAR - • What does it do? • OSCAR is a cluster software packaging utility • Automatically configures software components • Designed to work universally on PCs (support what Linux supports) • What will it do in the future? • Maintain cluster information database • Work as an interface not just for installation, but also for maintenance • Accelerate software package integration into clusters
Project Stage 2 cluster expansion
- Development of Stage 2 - • Establishing connectivity to 20 nodes • Investigation of GUI based tools • Installation of performance tools • Investigating suitable stress testing software • Implementing stress testing software • Negotiate Stage 3
- Conclusion - • The project team has completed Stage 1 successfully • All objectives have been met on time • The project team confident of moving into Stage 2 • Awaiting further approval
