Presentation Transcript

  1. PACS @ Ky • PACS at the University of Kentucky • April 2000 • Advanced Computing Resources • EPSCoR Outreach • SURA Liaison • John Connolly, Director • KYCCS and KyEPSCoR for NSF

  2. PACS @ Ky • Advanced Computing Resources • Uky HP Exemplar (X-class) SPP-2200 (64 processors; 16 Gbytes; 55Gflops) has been upgraded to HP N-class (96 processors; 96 Gbytes; ~160 Gflops) • 3 times the speed, 6 times the memory • Allocation to the Alliance has been increased from 20% to 30% • (so 4 times the capacity to the Alliance)

  3. PACS @ Ky • Advanced Computing Resources • Other than cycles • Repository; training modules; user support • G-force activities • virtual machine room • accounting standards • security • file systems • mass storage • Globus

  4. PACS @ Ky • Advanced Computing Resources • 20% of capacity assigned to the Alliance pool • will be increased to 30% • currently there are about 30 Alliance users using about 100,000 hours (annual rate) • this will increase to about 250,000 next year (each new hour worth about 2 of the old) • establish a national center for non-heroic projects (<100,000 hours) • explore the possibility of specializing in chemistry codes (quantum theory; molecular dynamics; etc.)

  5. PACS @ Ky • Advanced Computing Resources • Training: developing transition plan to new machine (X-->N) and OS (SPPUX-->HPUX) • Part of Alliance team to develop modules for MPI etc. • User support • MPI; openMP; f95/00 • parallel code development in MD, QCD, CFD • third party software (e.g. Gaussian) • G-force • Globus 1.1.2 VMR; GSI ssh/ftp & Phase 1 ACRS Accounting installed

  6. PACS @ Ky • Advanced Computing Resources • Technology Transfer • Condor pool established in Computer Science department • Several demonstrations and collaborations set up with Biology Workbench • Access node established: • first demo at the Kentucky Chautauqua, August 99 • now established in CCS seminar room • (available for seminars, workshops, training sessions, PACS meetings, etc) • multicast problems solved (we hope)

  7. PACS @ Ky • Advanced Computing Resources • Significant accomplishments( spin-off Centers • Center for Computing in the Humanities (Digital Atheneum); • interdisciplinary center for CS, English, Classics, Philosophy, Linguistics, etc. • focus on non-textual data • IBM/SUR and NSF/DLI grants • Center on Advanced Carbon Materials • molecular modeling of nano-structures • NSF/MRSEC grant

  8. PACS @ Ky • EPSCoR Outreach • Focus: • technology transfer from Alliance to EPSCoR institutions • brokerage of research partnerships • liaison offices at NCSA & DC-ACCESS • $250K supplement from NSF/ANIR to cover these activities for two years (renewal uncertain) • Town meeting at Kentucky Chautauqua Aug. 99 • plan for expansion of AG nodes (KS, AR,ND)

  9. PACS @ Ky • SURA Activities • Focus: • building networks in the SouthEast • 36 out of 46 members connected to vBNS • design and implementation of SoX • high bandwidth gigapops, e.g. MAC • workshops & conferences in networking applications • involve SURA members in Alliance activities, e.g. Chautauquas

  10. PACS @ Ky • SURA Activities • workshops this year: • ViDe (Video Demonstration) Atlanta 4/00 • Health Sciences, Emory 7/00 • Networking applications, Maryland 9/00 • Networking Technology, Kentucky 10/00
