Goals of the Large-Scale Cluster Computing Workshop Alan Silverman 22nd May 2001 Fermilab
HEPiX formed a Large Cluster SIG 2nd Nov 2000 HEPiX at Jefferson Lab See http://wwwinfo.cern.ch/hepix/
What could a SIG do? • First, promote appropriate sessions at future HEPiX meetings; perhaps even special meetings • Make sure each site knows what relevant work is in progress • Be aware and promote collaboration, share parts of projects perhaps • Be open to the possibility of people exchanges Alan Silverman
Cluster Builders Workshop - 1 • A workshop to write the definitive guide to building and running a cluster - how to choose/select/test the hardware; software installation and upgrade tools; performance mgmt, logging, accounting, alarms, security, etc, etc • Then document what exists and what might scale to large clusters. • And by implication, what does not scale • Maintain this. Alan Silverman
Cluster Builders Workshop - 2 • May 22nd to 25th in Fermilab • Participation targetted at sites with minimum size (100-200 node) clusters • Invitations sent, not only to HEP sites but other sciences, including biophysics. Also inviting participation by representatives from commercial firms with technical backgrounds • Gathering practical experience is the primary goal Alan Silverman
