Presentation Transcript

  1. PPE Web Pages • Moved PPE web pages to university supported content management system  • Staging website for development   • (Should be) easy enough to add and modify content  • Content rewrite underway  • New set of ATLAS pages went live earlier this year  • Now working on material for LHCb, HyperK, CLIC, ILC, FCC  • Need to update more general pages e.g. Seminars, Postgraduate opportunities, Careers etc.  • Discussions with school web support on best way to support dynamic content (e.g. Member lists, News items)  • Volunteers and contributions very welcome 

  2. Research DataStore • Nominally 500 GB per user free at point of use for every researcher • Can share up to 50% of share with "group or project partners” • 60 days offline backup  Available now for testing via an SMB share  Mac: Cmd-K -> smb://csce.datastore.ed.ac.uk/csce/ph/users/$UUN  Linux: mount.nfscsce.datastore.ed.ac.uk:/exports/csce/ph/users/$UUN Or via scapa: /Disk/ds-sopa-personal/$UUN • Caveats • For now think of this as a data silo rather than as a dropbox-like tool • Inconsistencies in definition of researcher - may only get 5G instead of 500G depending on your designated title  • Permission management needs some work  • Upcoming school meeting to determine storage space practicalities and access mechanisms

  3. PPE Small scale Batch System • Aim to have small-scale compute resources with faster turnaround time than ECDF • For larger scale workloads continue to ECDF resources • If there is enough demand for the service will scale up the number of slots  • Already some usage in the last two weeks (170 jobs) • No scheduling scheme in place – the only limit is 48 hour wallclock • Would like feedback on the best queue configuration  • e.g. Does it make sense to have a short 1 hour queue?

  4. Data Preservation • Our old storage servers are out of warranty and the data needs to be archived • This means any data on the following partitions: ardbeg5, basil3, lochnagar0, speyside4, speyside7, speyside8 • Note: This does not include data on /Disk/ecdf-nfs-ppe • Computing support recommends migrating and archiving all data from these servers to avoid any possibility of data loss  • A significant proportion can (presumably) be removed without archiving (e.g ATLAS LHCb, ROOT software releases)   • Lots of data from previous staff and students  • Performed preliminary bookkeeping to the assess scale of exercise  • Data from 33 staff and 16 students (current and former) • ROOT files / experiment-based data dominates usage   • Oldest timestamp: Apr 18 1985 (eisenhar)  • Will send out an targeted email to users over the coming weeks to review data to be archived

  5. Computing Support How to contact Computing Support Walk-in Helpdesk: Room 3205 9.30am-5pm @ ppe-help@ph.ed.ac.uk Computing Services Documentation • https://www.wiki.ed.ac.uk/display/PandAIntranet/Computing+Services • Essentials: Common services used by most staff, students and visitors  • Frequently Asked Questions • Helpdesk information  • Service Alerts Any areas of support that are not covered?  Any ongoing issues that need to be followed up?
