November 2008 Update: Condor Pool Expansion and New Technologies at Purdue University

The Purdue Rosen Center for Advanced Computing reports significant growth in its Condor pool, now reaching 20,000 processors. Additionally, Condor has connected with IU, adding 3,000 more processors. Updates have been implemented allowing scheduling of four FPGAs and testing a small Nimbus cloud setup for virtual machine instances. A new beta version of the PRESTIGE portal was launched to facilitate data discovery and visualization. These advancements alongside dynamic user support aim to enhance research capabilities and computational resources for community users.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Purdue RP Update October 11, 2008 Carol Song Purdue RP PI Rosen Center for Advanced Computing

  2. Condor Pool • Condor pool growing to 20,000 • IU Condor pool connected with Purdue, added ~3000 processors. • Jobs been flowing there to Windows machines

  3. Growth charts

  4. FPGA • Condor updates installed and tested. 4 FPGAs can be scheduled through Condor now. • Working with DAC users • Will run new benchmark using BLAST using all 4 FPGAs • A small cloud • Created a Nimbus cloud on a small test cluster, Wispy • Working with Kate (ANL) using it as a test case • Nimbus allows a user with known grid certificates to transfer a VM image into Wispy and request a number of instances to be run. • Also testing the Eucalyptus software stack from UC Santa Barbara, which aims to provide a public implementation of Amazon's Elastic Cloud product.

  5. Supporting Gateways • Climate Model portal • Migration of the CCSM portal to run jobs on Steele cluster • Integrated with CCSM community user account. • In testing phase (by CE users, evaluating needs from EAS class) • PTO Satellite data portal • Beta version of PRESTIGE was released in September http://www.purdue.teragrid.org/prestige • Support data discovery, subscription, dissemination, and visualization • User centric – user can customize the data processing algorithm, dynamically control the production of custom data products, and timely access the data of interest. • Scalable to meet user’s dynamic needs • Presented at CEOS/WGISS in September

  6. Science Gateways • Climate model (ccsm) portal • Migration of the CCSM software setup to Steele (DataStar retiring) • Integrated with CCSM community user account. • In testing phase (by CE users, evaluating needs from EAS class) • PTO Satellite data portal • Beta version of PRESTIGE was released in September http://www.purdue.teragrid.org/prestige • Support data discovery, subscription, dissemination, and visualization • User centric – user can customize the data processing algorithm, dynamically control the production of custom data products, and timely access the data of interest. • Scalable to meet user’s dynamic needs • Presented at CEOS/WGISS in September

  7. Data & Visualization • NEXRAD Radar 3D Visualization – LiveRadar3D • Paper will be presented at GCE08 workshop • Updated our Local Data Manager (LDM) software to to receive the new SuperRes data • Updating software to process the new data and provide additional features in the visualization application • Supporting various interfaces • Desktop application with maximum interactivity with near real-time data • Interactive radar vis anywhere via VNC embedded in a browser • Google gadget for broad dissemination • Web services/library API for data access • Will be deployed to scale to support #users

  8. New TG Staff Added TG staff support - Advanced user support: Phil Cheeseman another staff will be new hire - CUE/QA: Kevin Colby - Project Mgmt: Donna Cumberland - A new staff member joined research support group
