New Indiana University Report on Campus Bridging Software and Services

0

Campus bridging seeks to enable seamless integrated use of scientist’s personal cyberinfrastructure with the scientist’s home campus and at other institutions around the world.

The Indiana University (IU) Pervasive Technology Institute has released a workshop report on software and service issues related to campus bridging. This report may be found at http://hdl.handle.net/2022/13070.

The goal of campus bridging is to enable the seamlessly integrated use among: a scientist or engineer’s personal cyberinfrastructure; cyberinfrastructure on the scientist’s campus; cyberinfrastructure at other campuses; and cyberinfrastructure at the regional, national, and international levels; so that they all function as if they were proximate to the scientist. When working within the context of a Virtual Organization (VO), the goal of campus bridging is to make the ‘virtual’

Durham University Uses 25Tflops ‘Cosmology Machine’ To Study Origin, Evolution Of The Universe

0

A team of 20 cosmology researchers from the world-leading Institute for Computational Cosmology (ICC), based at Durham University and led by internationally recognised Professor Carlos Frenk, can now simulate the Universe and galaxies, including the Milky Way, with increasing levels of sophistication using a new powerful, eco-friendly server and storage cluster, dubbed the ‘Cosmology machine’, in its fourth generation, COSMA4 for short.

 

Eventually, the server and storage cluster will enable researchers to simulate finer and finer components of the Universe such as galaxies, stars and even planets.

University of Tromso Releases the Torque Roll for Rocks 5.3

0

Roy Dragseth of the University of Tromso announces:

The torque roll for Rocks 5.3.0 is now ready for download. Get the bits at:

ftp://ftp.uit.no/pub/linux/rocks/torque-roll/5.3.0

Most important software included:

  • Torque v2.4.6
  • Maui v3.2.6p21
  • mpiexec v0.83

New features

  • Node properties in Torque are now supported through setting node attributes using the rocks command line.
  • New queue web display not relying on Ganglia (just a simple cgi-bin wrapper around the maui commands.)
  • OpenMPI – Torque integration without recompiling OpenMPI with tm interface.
  • New documentation.

See the roll docs for details.

Installation

The Rocks way of installing the roll is as usual to reinstall your frontend and compute nodes, but you can also use the chain of commands to install a new roll on an existing frontend (with or without a previous version of the roll):

# rocks add roll /path/to/torque/roll.iso
# rocks enable roll torque
# rocks create distro
# rocks run roll torque | sh
# reboot

After the the frontend comes back up you should do the following to populate the node list:

# rocks sync config

then kickstart all your nodes

# tentakel /boot/kickstart/cluster-kickstart

After the nodes are reinstalled they should automatically pop up in the queueing system.

Source Code

The source code of the roll can be accessed from a public mercurial repository: http://devsrc.cc.uit.no/hg/torque/
