  1. CSG - Research Computing Redux John Holt, Alan Wolf University of Wisconsin - Madison

  2. What we have: • Infrastructure • Projects and Facilities • Support

  3. Infrastructure • 21st Century Network • 10 Gb backbone • Fully online (05-06) • IBM Enterprise Storage Server (ESS) • Northern Tier Network Consortium • Fiber connections for the northern states • Wisconsin to Washington • Wisconsin’s connection live by Fall

  4. Abilene & NLRAbilene is the Internet2 network

  5. Abilene, NLR & NTNC

  6. Projects and Facilities • Wisconsin Advanced Internet Laboratory • Condor • Grid Laboratory of Wisconsin (GLOW) • Genome Center Supercomputer facility • Others • Sampling of other projects

  7. Wisconsin Advanced Internet Laboratory • http://wail.cs.wisc.edu/ • 50 IP routers and switches • 100 end hosts • Other networking gear • create arbitrary configurationsof systems

  8. Condor • Hunting for wasted computing resoruces • http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/ • Engineering 587 (mixed) • CS approximately 750 (dedicated) • Plus most desktops in the department • Untapped pools • Infolabs and administrative machines • Difficulty with software licenses • Privacy and security

  9. Condor in CS

  10. CS Condor pool usage

  11. GLOW • Another Condor cluster • 330 cpus • (mostly) Isolated and restricted to contributing PIs • Mostly genomics research

  12. Genome Center of Wisconsin • Donated hardware (36 cpu e10000) • V880 (8 cpu) • Aging, but useful for large memory model applications not suitable for clusters • Local mirror of NCBI genomic databases • Subscription model

  13. Others • Laboratory for Optical and Computational Instrumentation • http://loci.wisc.edu/ • http://openmicroscopy.org • Social Science Computer Cooperative • Small Condor and statistical analysis • http://www.ssc.wisc.edu/ • Space Science and Engineering Center • http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/ • Sustainability and Global Environment • http://www.sage.wisc.edu/

  14. Others, continued • Digital Library Projects • Provide access to rare and fragile resourcesfor research • http://uwdcc.library.wisc.edu/index.html • High Energy Physics - GLOW • http://www.hep.wisc.edu/computing • Medical Physics - GLOW • http://www.medphysics.wisc.edu/cluster

  15. Support • Biology New Media Center • Research and teaching • Confederation of DoIT, CBE, and Biotech Center • Centrally supported • Gigabit connectivity to the desktops • Research and learning technology consulting • 3D molecular modeling, biosequence analysis and phylogenetic analysis consulting • Research communication • Access to shared specialized resources

  16. Support (continued) • Research storage support • Local > Shared > Archival • DSpace (or something like it) • Provide storage for collected final works • Datasets, research reports, etc. • Make these available to all researchers and teachers
