NPACI HotPage Updates • Kurt Mueller • San Diego Supercomputer Center • kurt@sdsc.edu
NPACI National Partnership for Advanced Computational Infrastructure • US National Science Foundation funded collaboration between research institutions: • San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) - University of California, San Diego • Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) - University of Texas, Austin • Center for Advanced Computing (CAC) - University of Michigan • 46 other institutions...
NPACI resources • compute • SDSC Blue Horizon - 1152 CPU IBM SP • TACC Longhorn - 224 CPU IBM Power4 • TACC Aurora - 16 CPU Cray SV1 • CAC Morpheus, Hypnos - 256, 134 CPU AMD clusters • CAC 64 and 24 CPU IBM SP systems
NPACI resources • storage • SDSC HPSS - 6 petabytes • TACC DMF - 1.4 petabytes • CAC ADSM - 41 terabytes • Caltech HPSS - 323 terabytes
aggregate resources • 463 nodes • 1854 CPUs • 4345 peak GFlops • 1714 GB RAM • 7.7 petabytes tape storage
HotPage updates • moved to Apache on linux • underlying GridPort updated to 2.3 • object-oriented perl • module packaging • simplified installation • new features: NWS, etc.
data collection • old methods of data collection: • cron jobs on webserver, triggering ssh commands to execute remote scripts on resources and store data on webserver • Globus job run to execute remote scripts • GIS queries for status data
data collection • problems with old methods: • some scripts generated LDIF, some HTML • no separation of content and presentation • GIS support inconsistent across partner sites • no persistent storage of data - historical record
GP-IR data repository • GridPort Information Repository • developed at TACC, with help from SDSC • XML-centric database to store performance and other data • web services data ingester and query interface
GP-IR data example • <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <loadInfo xmlns="http://grids.tacc.utexas.edu/schemas/infoservices/load" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://grids.tacc.utexas.edu/schemas/infoservices/load/load.xsd" timestamp="2001-12-17T09:30:47-05:00" hostname="horizon.sdsc.edu"> • <load> • <type>queue</type> <Percent>87</Percent> • </load> • </loadInfo>
GP-IR data caching • cron jobs run on HotPage server to query GP-IR every five minutes and write out xml to cache directories • HotPage page requests generate live queries to GP-IR • if live queries fail, HotPage scripts load cached XML
grid view • summary table • grid monitor • NWS
to do • historical performance queries • portlets - presentation this week • customization, portability • GridPort 3.0 - ditto • OGSA • HotPage source code distribution - this week? • rollout technologies to PACI HotPage • NPACI, NCSA and PSC resources
