SPbSU Informational and Computing Center: Some history Due to the historical reasons Saint Petersburg State University consists from 2 space-divided part. One of them located in the central part of the St. Petersburg. Other in the Petrodvorets – 40 kilometers from it. That’s why and also due to the fact that many other educational centers of the St. Petersburg are located in the central part, the optical channel from Petrodvorets to central part of St. Petersburg was created (during 1992-2004) .

Dynamics of performance of SPbSU computational center (MFlops) in 2000-2003:
SPbSU Informational-computing center:Software evolution • 1999 – os freeBSD 3.3 • 2000 – OPEN PBS as users job scheduling system • 2000-2001 – os redHat 6.2, systems of the quantum-chemicals calculations: CRYSTAL 95 and GAMESS • 2001-2004 design and development of the Portal of the High Performance Computing (WEBWS) (due to our legend it is called so from words “web work space”) • 2002 – the first cluster to study the grid-technologies and grid-applications • 2003 - participating in the alien project (site http://alice.spbu.ru) • 2004 - participating in the ALICE Data Challenge (see monitoring at http://aliens3.cern.ch:8080/)
SPbSU Informational-computing center:More on software evolution 2003-… 2003 – collaboration with the IBM started Due to collaboration with IBM we changed many parts of the informational-computing center: • New net-monitoring system • New storage system with SAN (storage area network) • New portal development technologies - portlets and websphere
Tivoli Data Warehouse Tivoli Decision Support Tivoli Enterprise Console Tivoli NetView SPbSU Informational-computing centernet monitoring status Reports, statistics Structure, monitoring DB2 visualization events
SPbSU Informational-computing centerstorage system status • HACMP (High Availability Cluster Multi-Processing) • Monitoring and management of the net - Tivoli SAN Manager • Management of the storage elements: IBM Total Storage Manager, IBM Total Storage Specialist, Brocade Advanced Web Tools • Archivating, reserve coping and restoring system TSM - Tivoli Storage Manager • RDBMSDB2 UDB (8.1) • Content Management System CM 8.1
SPbSU Informational-computing center. Portal of the High Performance Computing (WEBWS) WEBWS consists from 3 main part : • Informational part – monitoring of the computational resources based on Ganglia (open source software product) , monitoring users tasks queries • Work space – users work space for development and starting tasks • Administrative part

SPbSU Informational-computing center.Some plans for the future • Continue collaboration with IBM • Continue development WEBWS • … • Continue Alice data challenge • Transition to gLite in some near future together with ALICE • Parton String Model in parallel mode and physics performance analysis for ALICE • Participation in the Mammogrid
SPbSU in Data Challenge 2004 • 2002: Globus Toolkit 2.4 was installed, tests started • July 2003: AliEn was installed ( P. Saiz) • July 2004: start of tests jobs in grid-cluster “alice” .
