Notes de l'éditeur

  1. In summary we determined that the following would need to be address in any HPC to be successful.
  2. In the beginning their where only one big shark (The Mainframe) The next era of supper computing came with the introduction vector Supercomputer the likes of Cray etc.. The next step was compacting into Mini Computer Al the previous approaches where based on SMP closely coupled in one box And then came the modes Personal Computer. Not very strong on it’s own, but connecting a lot of them together make one Big fish So we suited-up got our best fishing rods and decides to go fishing... For one of these new Big Fish Becoming part of the New World Order.
  3. At the previous HPC conference we came, we saw, we determined that, as Institutional IT, the time was right. The University wanted to become a major player in the New World order. This would not be the first try at this, in 1991 we implemented the SP, but the time was not right (Previous part of the presentation) In the mean time the University also ventured into clustering with three Departmental clusters (FSK, Chemistry, BWI) So what do we want to do Technically that would be different. We what to implement the H in HPC > 1 TFlop configuration. Beowulf approach -> open source , commodity of the shelf hardware,
  4. So what is a Beowulf Cluster ?
  5. How did the first Beowulf cluster look like Note the amount of time it took the assemble the cluster 8 months, taking into account Moore’s law this would makeable influenced the effective production life of the cluster.
  6. The light dotted lines show the originator of software. The issue for us is choice of Cluster software as to allow integration into grids The major issues is on scheduler level and making the HPC appear as a CE in the grid.
  7. Concept framework source Cluster Resources, Inc. Show what did we decide, representing the previous slides in a layer approach simmalar to ISO layers We started with hardware. -> ? HW, OS Resource Manager, Cluster schedulers and finally the Grid workload manager.
  8. Based the Barcelona picture we did put I a requisition for a new building to house the new NWU HPC.. But we are still waiting… OK the real reason is. Reason for showing #13. When slides where setup Barcelona was #5 dropped down in #13 in less than 6 months We needs to build have a strategy that is sustainable with fast upgraded path.
  9. We started looking around to determine what is the major issues that HPC have and found that Reliability and Availability is a major factor.
  10. In summary we determined that the following would need to be address in any HPC to be successful.
  11. The first strategy that we will used to extend the capacity and lifecycle of HPC technology will be to: Utilize the characteristics of Data center vs. that of HPC Implement new high performance CPU in HPC and migrate technology to data center As first phase to manual hardware load management through swapping of blades between HPC and data center to match peak demands extend concept to later do this dynamically on Resource Manger level in the long run (also referred to as utility computing) We needed to a strategy to make the HPC cost effective
  12. So looking at the technologies that we were already using in the data center Why start here ? Cost effectiveness, training people on new technology that is only used in HPC would reduce cost effectiveness. Take note Modular fast extension with less work

  15. Show how does the NWU HPC configuration look like.
  16. What is the Spec’s 256 Cores
  17. Addressing the Reliability and Availability
  18. Institutional facility how do we like this. The limitation still is speed. Brining on SANREN.
  19. Monday, 31 March 2008 : The four sites are the main campuses of Wits, UJ, and two of UJ’s satellite campuses, Bunting and Doornfontein says Christiaan Kuun , SANReN Project Manager at the Meraka Institute
  20. How will SANREN be used for the National GRID But what about International Grid. -> SEACOM
  21. SEACOM PROJECT UPDATE - 14 Aug 2008 Construction on-schedule with major ground and sea-based activities proceeding over the next eight months 14 August 2008 – The construction of SEACOM’s 15,000 km fibre optic undersea cable, linking southern and east Africa, Europe and south Asia, is on schedule and set to go live as planned in June 2009 . Some 10,000 km of cable has been manufactured to date at locations in the USA and Japan and Tyco Telecommunications (US) Inc., the project contractors, will begin shipping terrestrial equipment this month with the cable expected to be loaded on the first ship in September 2008. Laying of shore end cables for each landing stations will also proceed from September. This process will comprise the cable portions at shallow depths ranging from 15 to 50m where large vessels are not able to operate. From October 2008, the first of three Reliance Class vessels will start laying the actual cable. The final splicing, which involves connecting all cable sections together, will happen in April 2009, allowing enough time for testing of the system before the commercial launch in June 2009. The final steps of the Environmental Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) process are well advanced and all small archeological, marine and ecological studies, which required scuba diving analysis, have been completed, as well as social consultations with the affected parties. The cable, including repeaters necessary to amplify the signal, will be stored in large tanks onboard the ships. The branching units necessary to divert the cable to the planned landing stations will be connected into the cable path on the ship just prior to deployment into the sea. The cable will then be buried under the ocean bed with the help of a plow along the best possible route demarcated through the marine survey. The connectivity from Egypt to Marseille, France, will be provided through Telecom Egypt’s TE-North fibre pairs that SEACOM has purchased on the system. TE-North is a new cable currently being laid across the Mediterranean Sea. Brian Herlihy, SEACOM President, said: “ We are very happy with the progress made over the past five months. Our manufacturing and deployment schedule is on target and we are confident that we will meet our delivery promises in what is today an incredibly tight market underpinned by sky-rocketing demand for new cables resulting in worldwide delivery delays. “The recently announced executive appointments combined with the project management capabilities already existent within SEACOM position us as a fully fledged telecoms player. We are able to meet the African market’s urgent requirements for cheap and readily available bandwidth within less than a year. ” The cable will go into service long before the 2010 FIFA World Cup kicks-off in South Africa and SEACOM has already been working with key broadcasters to meet their broadband requirements. The team is also trying to expedite the construction in an attempt to assist with the broadcasting requirements of the FIFA Confederations Cup scheduled for June 2009. SEACOM, which is privately funded and over three quarter African owned, will assist communication carriers in south and east Africa through the sale of wholesale international capacity to global networks via India and Europe. The undersea fibre optic cable system will provide African retail carriers with equal and open access to inexpensive bandwidth, removing the international infrastructure bottleneck and supporting east and southern African economic growth. SEACOM will be the first cable to provide broadband to countries in east Africa which, at the moment, rely entirely on expensive satellite connections.
